Now Viewing: kaku_seigaTag type: Character 霍青娥 (かくせいが) The "Wicked Hermit Who Passes Through Walls", also nicknamed Seiga Nyan Nyan (青娥 娘々 [せいが にゃんにゃん]), lit. Lady Seiga. Stage 4 boss of Touhou's Ten_Desires. She is Miyako_Yoshika's superior. Her name came from the title, and name of the heroine, of 青娥, an episode [1] from Liao Zhai Zhi Yi / Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio [2] Volume 7. Seiga's hair_stick is actually a "Wall-Removing Chisel" that lets her pass through_walls. It is likely based on a chisel-shaped magical digging tool that appeared in Liao Zhai Zhi Yi. ([3]) In the original text, it was called 镵 (simplified) [4] or 鑱 (traditional) [5]. It means a type of ancient shovel or a herb-digging tool. (See also the Baidu pedia) [6].
