Editing Ghost Hunt:Volume6 Translator's Notes (section)

==Chapter 5==
===Judas===
ユダ - Yuda: In the context of this chapter, this would translate as judas. It's a term used to refer to someone who betrays someone else. It's a reference to Judas Iscariot, one of the original twelve apostles. He is known for betraying Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.

===Tainai-meguri===
胎内めぐり - Tainai meguri: This is a dark tunnel usually found at temples. Passing through it is considered as passing through the womb of a female Bodhisattva and is a spiritual journey of renewal. The kanji 胎内 (tainai) means interior of womb and めぐり (meguri) means tour or pilgrimage. So, this would translate as Womb Tour or Tour of the Womb. I couldn't find a lot of information on this, but there's a Tainai-meguri located at Kiyomizu temple.

===Bellboy===
ボーイ - booi: This can mean boy, bellboy, porter, or waiter. I felt that bellboy was most likely though the manga has Mai imagine him as a waiter.

===Shōnen===
少年 - Shōnen: This is Bou-san's nickname for Yasuhara-san. It means boys, but I believe it's in reference to 少年探偵団 (Shōnen Tantei-dan - boys detective group) which is from Case Closed.

===Ansei Purge===
安政の大獄 - Ansei no taigoku: This was a multi-year event in Japanese history of the Edo period. In 1858-1860, the Tokugawa shogunate got rid of those who did not support its foreign trade policies.

===Double Suicide===
心中 - Shinjū - This is used to refer to any group suicide of persons bound by love, typically lovers, parents and children, and even whole families. It can translate as double suicide or lovers suicide.

===Goma===
護摩 - Goma: Buddhist rite of cedar-stick burning used to invoke divine help.

===Ijin===
異人 / 偉人 - Ijin: Yasuhara uses the kanji 異人 (ijin) which is foreigner/outlander. Mai uses the kanji 偉人 (ijin) which is great man. Apparently, from the 1850s to the early 1900s, the word 異人 (ijin) was used to refer to someone from a foreign country, which is now 外国人 (gaikokujin). The kanji for 外国人 (gaikokujin) means outside-country person. Mai also uses the word 外人さん (gaijin-san). 外人 (gaijin) is another term for foreigner and the kanji means outside-person. Some feel the word has come to be a derogatory term and that it possess a negative connotation.

===Red Shoes===
赤い靴 - Akai Kutsu: Japanese nursery rhyme in which a girl in red shoes is kidnapped by a foreigner. This was written in 1922 by Japanese poet Ujō Noguchi and uses the word 異人 (ijin) to refer to a foreigner. Lyrics:
<blockquote>
A young girl with red shoes<br>
was taken away by a foreigner.<br>
<br>
She rode on a ship from Yokohama pier<br>
taken away by a foreigner<br>
<br>
I imagine right now she has become blue-eyed<br>
living in that foreigner’s land.<br>
<br>
Every time I see red shoes, I think of her<br>
And every time I meet a foreigner, I think of her.
</blockquote>
