Edited National Diet Library chart of the twelve types of kappa (河童) (mythological water sprite/beast/monster/fairy/yokai) in Japan. The thing to remember if you ever get waylaid by a kappa is their fondness for cucumbers. Simply offer the accosting kappa a cucumber and you'll be on your way without further difficulty. Color/processing variant.

Yoshimura: Yokai Researcher is about a guy who wants to make an encyclopedia of yokai, scary Japanese monsters, who are more cute and funny than they are scary in this book. Each strip features a different yokai or yokai attribute and in this books are accompanied by a kind of serious, kind of funny fact.
This is all according to the teacher who sits next to me at work. Thanks Takagi-sensei!

In Japanese mythology, there is a yōkai (spirit or demon) named Amabie (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amabie). This yōkai helps with harvests and if you show its (hers?) picture to those afflicted with disease, the sick person should get better. Amabie has become very popular since the pandemic started and you can see variations of this image in many places (as well as more modern interpretations).
This image is from the Kyoto University Digital Archive of Rare Materials and the source can be found at rmda.kulib.kyoto-u.ac.jp/item/rb00000122.
Severely cropped variant with background elements removed.

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.

Tokichiro is a traveler with some Spirit Stones, he can use to soothe raging Yokai and transform them into peaceful Nigitama. He ordered Hide to Jusanzakura, The Village of Crused Blossoms, for help. After Hide defeated the Mezuki who devastated the village, he ask her to join him on his travels, hoping for the day he get the power to fulfill all his dreams.
I like Tokichiro very mutch in the roll as partner and friend of Hide, because of his sympathetic nature and the interesting way his history will goes.

The Nuppeppo is a yōkai that is genderless and estimated to be up to 1.5m in height. It is described to have a flabby appearance and its appearance is accompanied by a pungent body odor. It appears as a blob of flesh with a hint of a face in the folds of fat. It is also described as having fingers and toes that are vaguely defined lumps.
The Nuppeppo is passive and unaggressive. The body odor is said to rival that smell of rotting flesh. Other theories claim that the Nuppeppo is actually decaying flesh. There is a rumor that states that those who eat the flesh of a Nuppeppo shall have eternal youth.
The Nuppeppo aimlessly wanders deserted streets of villages, towns and cities, often at night towards the year-end, or graveyards or abandoned temples. It is normally solitary, but there are sightings of them in groups.
It's a titanic struggle!
