Amazake-babaa (¸Ê¾ÆÆÅ, "amazake hag") is an old woman y¨kai from the folklore of Miyagi and Aomori prefectures. She comes to the doors of houses at late night asking for amazake in a child like voice, but if anyone answers they fall ill. It was said that to keep her away, a cedar leaf is placed in the doorway. She was also known as the god of Chickenpox.
