Edited Wikipedia image (originally from the Princeton University Library) of ukiyo-e by Kuniyoshi Utagawa of illustrations from Bakemono Chūshingura, or The Monster's Chūshingura, which is a setting of the story of the 47 Ronin, with the characters played by yokai or monsters.
Kanokutsu is a spirit of shoes - the littls green ones tied to his head, of course. He waves that banner proudly.

I bought Yokai a gorgeous new kimono full set. It's absolutely beautiful and I'm so happy I made the switch to make her a Feeple60.

This card features my Maneki Karakasa Nyokai. "Maneki" means "Beckoning" as in Lucky Cat. "Nyokai" is a combination of "Nya" (the Japanese onomatopoeia for Meow) and "Yokai" (traditional Japanese monsters). The Karakasa Yokai is a haunted umbrella monster.

If Hide freaks out and transform herself into a dangerous Yokai, i wouldn't like to be close to her.
Yokai (supernatural beings) talk with Japanese folklore scholar Zack Davisson. He explains: 1) Yokai origins 2) Yokai evolution
It turns out original yokai Uwabami (serpent) came from India and Kitsune (fox) came from China. Mr. Davisson went on to explain the yokai culture almost disappeared during the Edo period when Japan underwent rapid modernization but was revived by the late manga artist, Shigeru Mizuki.
New yokai are invented all the time as old ones become soften. Illustrating this point is the current depiction of the once fearsome Kappa shown on screen as a cute green character.

This is a Tsurube-otoshi from the Kinki-chihou area. It lurks in the tops of trees and drops down on unsuspecting humans.
More or less completed! He is fitted for my face but not really wearable as there are no breathing holes and it's a little heavy (3 lbs). The mane is made from wool that i dyed and shaped. The teeth will get a satin sheen.
I'm really happy with this and will be making more yokai (japanese monsters) and some others....
Kamagami, the ghost of a rice pot - hence his head - is a benevolent spirit who summons the gods to provide food ingredients! He's very handy when you're on a budget.

Suzu is a round and hollow Japanese Shinto Bell that contains pellets that sound when agitated.
Tengu (heavenly dogs) are a class of supernatural creatures found in Japanese folklore, art, theater, and literature. They are one of the best known yōkai (monster-spirits) and are sometimes worshipped as Shinto kami (revered spirits or gods). Although they take their name from a dog-like Chinese demon (Tiangou), the tengu were originally thought to take the forms of birds of prey, and they are traditionally depicted with both human and avian characteristics.
First part of my work : it will be a Ball jointed Doll based on "kitsune" yokai. (Yo-sd size) More informations about his story when he will be complete. ;D
Heavily processed ukiyo-e print (part of a print, anyway) of a Japanese yokai (monster or demon) nekomata (demon cat).
