Tomino’s Hell is a poem by Saijō Yaso.
According to internet legend, the poem curses the reader with misfortune and death if read aloud.
There are a few possible ways to interpret the disturbing symbolism in the poem, which David Bowles describes in the footnotes of his superb English translation of the Japanese original.
Either Tomino has murdered his parents and is now suffering in the Buddhist idea of Seven Circles of Hell, or author Saijō Yaso is symbolically describing the feeling of his survivor’s guilt after the passing of his sister or father.
