The Legend of the Sessho-seki stone:

It is said to seal the spirit of a vengeful demon from the outside world, has split in half. Legend has it, that is ends anyone that touches it. The legend is deeply embedded in Japanese mythology and is said to be the transformed corpse of the mythological Tamamo-no-Mae; a supposed beautiful woman whose spirit was possessed by the nine-tailed fox, or Kitsune. To escape being hunted, the spirit embedded itself into the Sessho-seki stone as a last resort, which released a poisonous gas that killed anyone who touched it.
