Tanuki Scroll XXXIX: 毛生え薬 
Read today’s Edo tale, about a man with thinning hair. He goes to the drugstore to get some hair growth formula but he doesn’t have enough money to buy it and gets in a quarrel with the store clerk. During the fight some of the medicine ends up on the floor and the man falls on it. He doesn’t get any more hair on his head but now he has a luxurious flowing horse tail sprouting from his bum.
