The Woman's Dictionary of Symbols and Sacred Objects by Barbara G. Walker mentions a Baubo figure in ancient Japanese mythology called the Alarming Female who makes a face of her body.

The Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto “created a face on the front of her body to draw laughter from the Heaven-Shining-Great-August-Goddess Amaterasu, when she was hiding her light in a cave. The Alarming Female induced Amaterasu to emerge, bringing sunlight to the world again.” (236)
