Wikipedia definition
2. Satori (folklore)in Japanese folklore are supernatural monsters said to live within the mountains of Hida and Mino. They were known as yōkai who were able to see through people's minds. One meets them during walking along mountain paths and resting in the mountains. Upon seeing through everything one thinks, the satori would say them out loud faster than one can. There is also a theory that they are the child incarnation of mountain gods who have come to ruin and turned into a yōkai form.
