From the #uncannytober list, it’s Kasa Obake! This little guy here is sort of an OC that’s been living in my head. He just needs a name. I’ve been calling him Kasa Kozo (“Parasol Boy”) which I believe is an alternate term for Kasa Obake. It’s good but I’m not sure if it makes for a proper name. Before he became a yokai, he was passed down to numerous generations of children, many of whom coincidently used him to play “paracute” i.e. jumping off a chair or other piece of furniture with an umbrella to see if it softens your fall. As a result, he became a yokai a child-like personality and the ability to fly with a person hanging onto his leg. #yokai #kasaobake #ayokaiaday #pencildrawing #instaart #oc https://www.instagram.com/p/CjwZcIdLifh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#043 - Yokai - Kasa Obake Kasa Obake (or Karakasa kozō) are not particularly fearsome as far as yōkai go. Their favorite method of surprising humans is to sneak up on them and deliver a large, oily lick with their enormous tongues—which may be traumatic even though it isn’t dangerous. Drawn daily, forgot to post them... I'll be drawing Yokai all through November, keeping it simple. . . . #yokai #KasaObake #japan #japanese #japanesefolklore #japaneseculture #demon #monster #ghoul #Karakasakozō #umbrellaghost https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck24jvgNXz1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rokurokubi are born as ordinary female humans, but are cursed and transformed by the bad karma of evil deeds done by themselves or by male relatives. One type can lengthen its neck up to insane heights, some sources say 20 feet, while the other type is capable of detaching its head and flying around with it. There are two variants of the rokurokubi, a monster that is practically indistinguishable from a human woman with the exception of what it can do with its head. Rokurokubi 10 Interesting Creatures from Japanese Folklore Umibozu literally means “sea monk”, and they are thought to be the vengeful spirits of drowned priests. That way, the umibozu will keep attempting to fill it, and the ship can escape. The only way to stop it is to give it a barrel that doesn’t have a bottom. If the crew can comply, the umibozu fills the barrel up with an insane amount of water, then dumps it out onto the boat until the crew drowns. From time to time, an umibozu will ask a ship’s crew for a barrel. They appear abruptly on calm nights, attacking ships by pushing waves or outright smashing them. They are a human-like sea creature with dark skin, but they are so large that nobody has ever seen one from above its shoulders. It can only be seen at night in large cities, hopping like a rabbit and searching for human souls to steal.Īn encounter with an umibozu rarely leaves any survivors.

Some say it’s the spirit of a disgruntled whale that was killed by fishermen, others insist that it’s a sea god. The bakekujira is the ghostly skeleton of a whale that haunts the Japanese coastline. Bakekujira Interesting Creatures from Japanese Folklore ( Courtesy) It sometimes appears carrying a “baby” made out of thousands of spider eggs, which it gives to its victim to stun him so it can wrap him into a web and devour him. (Others say that it is just a magical spider that can transform itself into a beautiful woman.) While looking for men to eat, it keeps its lower-half hidden.

The ubume is the ghost of a pregnant woman who died before or during childbirth. Then it drinks all of the victim’s blood until the body is entirely emptied out. Once a victim is found, the gashadokuro grabs the unfortunate man and bites his head off. While their bones usually make a rattling sound while they walk, they become completely quiet when looking for their next meal. Because of their hunger, they wander the countryside late at night, searching for travelers to eat. Their bodies are formed by the angry spirits of people who have died from starvation. The gashadokuro is a gigantic skeleton said to be fifteen times taller than the average person.

Cryptober Day 25: Tsukumogami (Chochin-okabe, Kasa-obake, Bakezori)

It's been a rainy day this afternoon

I wasn’t going to do any art challenges this October but something about @uncannyjapan’s #uncannytober challenge got me into it again. (And possibly also the pile of scrap paper I have laying around) But I’ll be playing by my own rules. Instead of drawing the yokai of the day from a specific list, I’m picking whatever yokai I feel like from either the #uncannytober list or @cookietanuki.art’s #yokaitober list and doing quick(ish) pencil sketches of them. I’m also not limiting myself to one yokai per day or even one drawing per yokai. I’m just gonna do what I feel and go where my muse takes me. I’m doing this challenge to take a break from digital art and all the over perfecting that comes with it. As much as I love drawing digitally and having the power to perfect my designs (and repeatedly flip the canvas so that I know my t-shirt designs won’t look weird in the mirror which is really important if you think about it), lately it feels like that’s all I’m doing. I feel like I’m stuck in a rut because I’ve been drawing the same lines and shapes over and over. So for once I’m going to worry about quantity over quality. I want to make some stuff then stop when it’s good enough and then draw some more good enough stuff. The only thing that matters here is that I’m drawing every day for the rest of the month without over perfecting everything. Not that there won’t be *any* perfecting. I am me after all. #AYokaiADay #yokai #kuchisakeonna #tanuki #jinmengyo #torakoishi #kasaobake #instaart #monsters https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjr95mEuWSg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
