There is a superstition that “a woman born in the year of the fire horse has a strong temperament, shortens her husband’s life and bring ruin to their families and maybe even kill their husbands.” It is said that the superstition in the early Edo period that “there are many fires in the year of the fire horse”, changed to a superstition about women’s marriage because Yaoya Oshichi was believed to have been born during the fire horse.
