Day 16 of Inktober, an Object Yokai known as the "Kasa-Obake".
A Japanese Ghost within the form of a Umbrella Monster, mostly part of the Tsukumogami.
They are one of the Exotic Yokai, they're not really that Harmful despite having a Creepy Appearance with a Single Eye and One Leg, sometimes being depicted with Two Legs and Two Arms with a Long Tongue. A Tool or an Object can attain abilities after Hundred Years, they become Yokai. They are usually associated being around Creepy Houses that can be seen in Media (mostly Anime or Manga).
There aren't much stories about these ghosts in Folklore and Mythology outside of Art, however, they are most likely mischievous creatures that enjoy scaring people a lot (when they are disguised as a Normal Umbrella). In Rainy Days, People who have seen a Kasa-Obake would cower down just to not be able to move their own feet.

Monster Month: Kasa-Obake
Kasa-Obake
I’ve seen this show up in so many anime that I had to put it on the blog. Doesn’t matter that there isn’t a lot of info out there.
The kasa-obake/karakasa-obake/kasa-bake/karakasa kozo . . . It has a lot of names, but it’s always an umbrella creature. Starting to appear during Japan’s Edo period, this is a ghost or yokai, which is a supernatural entity. Not necessarily a demon from…

Kasa-Obake
The Kasa-Obake (also kasa-bake or karakasa kozō) is a japanese yokai that typically takes the form of an umbrella with one eye, a long tongue, and either one or two legs. Despite being one of the most recognizable yokai, there is actually very little written about this creature. As far as I can find, there are no accounts of people directly encountering a kasa-obake and no evidence of genuine folk beliefs. Despite this, it has become extremely popular, appearing frequently in pop culture and japanese media (example below).
(A kasa-obake from the film Pom Poko)
This yokai is most often portrayed as mischievous, but not especially dangerous. Some believe that kasa-obake are a type of tsukumogami, a household object that receives a soul after existing for one hundred years. Interestingly, an object or animal persisting for a specific number years seems to be a common method by which yokai are created (ex: nekomata and tenko).
The origin of the kasa-obake is uncertain. There are illustrations of umbrella yokai (see below) in scrolls dating as far back as the Muromachi period in Japan (1300s to mid-1500s), though it is unknown whether these are at all related to the kasa-obake.

[D&D] Summer Heat Fever 2023
Last weekend, my friends and I finally had the chance to go hog wild and wrap up on my D&D summer oneshort. It was lots of 'fun' as we shitpost the entire way through. It was nice to have a casual session for once with mini-games and quizzes incorporated into the gameplay.
Tho things (of course) did NOT go according to plans at all, we still had a lot of good laughs in the end. Hurray!!
Thus, here's a little art I drew as a memento for this year's Summer Heat Fever oneshort. Thank you to all my players for joining me on this misadventure! :3c
