Arsonist Yaoya Oshichi is executed by burning at the stake at the age of 16 in Suzugamori, Tokyo, Kantō, Japan.


In December 1682 Oshichi fell in love with temple page Ikuta Shōnosuke during the great fire at Shōsen-in. The next year she attempted arson, thinking she could meet him again if another fire occurred.
