Like kasa-obake, these paper lantern tsukumogami are relatively harmless object yokai.

-See the pictures below the "read more" line! ^^ -

A work colouge gifted me a tiny book with blank pages last year, becouse she didn't have any use for it, and I mentioned that I found it cute. (It has sunflowers on the cover!)

I took it as an oportunity to doodle some Yokai, using only fine liner ^^

1st: Kasa Obake, 6.11.2023

2nd: Yatagarasu, 8.11.2023

I wanted to practice drawing ravens/crows, but also keep the Yokai theme. That beeing said, this has to be the most borring looking yokai out there! It's just a crow with three feet! They couldn't gibe it something cool, like a third eye, or four wings?!

3rd: Chōchin Obake, 9.11.2023

Drew this during my work places early celebration of "Sankt Martin", a lantern parade/"festival" based on a roman soldier that shared his cloak with a homeless dude, and which official is on the 11th of November. So, I drew this to keep with the lantern theme.

August was japanese spirits time! Mystery and his new power, and yes with his tsukumogami crakle in chōchin form, bleeehehehhe!!!

Mystery in the new transformation, yep more mature? ha ha!!! Funny expressions too and with his tsukumogami "Crackle" in his kiseru form (As is known, in the world of anime pipes and kitsunes are elements that combine by obligation!) Mystery can transform his slave spirit into anything but the most typical is chōchin🏮

Shiromori here is reborn 2.0 or Shiro-little-mori✨

Commentary

Well I already made my favorite wall yokai so I might as well double back and make my second favorite Tsukumogami I love the idea of something gaining sentience after getting enough time and I really wish there was a yokai for stuffed animals lovingly passed down from one child to the next. I like the idea so much I'm working on a feat for constructs that allow them to become awakened after living long enough. Just a neat idea. For this piece I kept it simple and used only 4 colors and while I initially used a bright white I had in the eye I settled instead for the dark reddish brown for the body.

I encourage everyone hear to search Creature Codex Year of Yokai masterpost because its full of great beasties.

In Japanese folklore, tsukumogami are tools and other household objects that have become inhabited by a kami, or spirit, after an extended period of use, usually one hundred years. The possessed item will generally become self aware and animated, though some tsukumogami possess only basic abilities.

Tsukumogami are often depicted in paintings, with perhaps the most famous instance being The Lantern Ghost by esteemed Edo era printmaker Katsushika Hokusai, which depicts a Chōchin-obake.

The Chōchin-obake, a well-known Yokai, belonging to the Tsukumogami category. It is a spirit that possessed a paper lantern and enjoys being mean to unsuspecting humans.

I wanted to use flashy colors and lotsa detail on the lantern itself, the handle is a rib and you can find a skull and a femur inside of the lantern itself!!

Yōkai: Chochin Obake

I made something simple this week, just a couple of lantern yōkai chillin’ out. Well it’s going to be a sticker. Oh yes, these yōkai are called Chōchin Obake. They’re Tsukumogami, objects that gain sentience through the passage of time, approximately a hundred years. They’re harmless, and only prefers to cause mischief and surprise unsuspecting victims, with a big slimy lick! 

I might draw some more stickers around next month and hopefully get a table at a con. Ugh, I don’t know if my stickers are durable or fade proof!
