European Folklore: "Don't stray too far from the village or the monsters will get you!" Japanese Folklore: "lmao if you look up in your own house you die" Like, WHAT'S THE MORAL HERE?!
In Japanese Folklore, the Tenjōname is a spirit that comes out of the darkness on cold winter nights and licks your ceiling. If you catch sight of a Tenjōname while it is doing its business, you diepic.twitter.com/vdyd2nsNSh

How many Japanese monsters are just like "if you ever notice its existence, you die."
-
Almost as much as the "if you don't notice it's existence, you suffer horribly, then die" category

Most folktales have some reasoning or lesson behind them. Is this just to get children to close their eyes and go to sleep?

i would rather say that something with the ventilation,roofing and heating wasn't right and that got the cieling wet and moldy... so they had to blame it on something but also needed a reason why noone would've seen why it happened.
