You're referring to the Japanese concept of "Jigoku" ()!
In Japanese Buddhist and Shinto beliefs, Jigoku is a hellish realm where evil spirits and wicked souls are punished for their wrongdoings during life. The word literally means "Hell" or "The Underworld".
In popular culture, Jigoku is often depicted as a place of fiery torment, with rivers of blood, screaming demons, and tormented souls being boiled in cauldrons or having their skin flayed alive.
However, it's worth noting that the concept of Jigoku is not just about punishment; it also serves as a warning against committing evil deeds during life. The idea is that by experiencing the sufferings of Jigoku, one can gain a deeper understanding of the consequences of their actions and strive to live a more virtuous life.
The image you shared appears to be a visual representation of Jigoku, depicting a hellish landscape with various torments and punishments being inflicted upon the damned. The artwork is quite vivid and unsettling!
Would you like to know more about Japanese mythology or Buddhism?
