aka manto : 🇯🇵 Japan school

There’s one annoying yokai I love, but kind of feel sorry for: Taka-Onna. She’s a female yokai that haunts red light districts, a very tall lady whose sole purpose in life is to peep through second-story windows at “preoccupied” couples. These could be prostitutes and their clients, or cheaters and their side partners. Either way, she loves watching them through the windows like the world’s tallest voyeur. She isn’t much of a danger to people, rarely outright harming anyone. But she will harass and bother and startle them for her own amusement, and also because she’s said to have been unable to find romantic partners in her human life as she wasn’t very attractive. As a yokai, the energy of two or more people gettin’ busy acts as her source of nourishment, but she loves harassing them out of jealousy.

I know it’s amazing.

it might or might not be a yokai perse, but one of my favorites has to be the Uma-no-ashi, a horse's leg which dangles from a tree and kicks passersby and then hides between the leaves. these japanese myths are just so weird, i love em. some do really nothing impactful, others will steal your soul just by looking at them, and others are just simply helpfull. like the Akaname, a spirit who licks off filth in untidy bathrooms. i would be happy to have one of those.

Well, I *have* something moving in my attic that makes odd noises. It eats hazel nuts all night, and occasionally drops one that then rolls to some place. This happens especially in winter. FYI: I am living in central Europe.

Just saw Linfamy’s video. Man, Japan basically has their own SCP database.

If a Yokai tries to take my eye they better take the useless one. Also, I like that the second design of the haircutting Yokai was basically just "Hungry Bear"

Hmm... I'll prolly end up becoming a himamushi nyudo when I die

You did such a good job with Japanese culture and correct depictions of the yokai... How come you keep saying EEdo instead of Edo? (It's an E as in Elephant, egg, or Ender)

Yes, I messed that one up. I don't know why it was stuck in my head that way. I know with romaji spellings "i" is usually pronounced like "we" and "e" is pronounced like "hey" but I said it like 8 times the wrong way.

YUM.. Sweet sweet ceiling grime LOL

Have you thought of doing something on African, Native American, or Latino folklore? Sure you could find some cool mythology there

This reminds me of a mythology book I read that went into the overlap in English lore between faeries, demons, and ghosts and the roles from monster to mischief. Japanese Yokai seem to have strong similarities to this.

There are some Mythology creatures that do annoy me but only on the times whenever I am dreaming or seeing them in my visions like sometimes I do see the Japanese version of Samara Morgan appearing in my dreams trying to kill me.

Would be nice to have these as mobs in Minecraft. They would make interactions a lot harder and finding a peaceful gameplay impossible.

Kamikiri reminds me of Clip from the Lilo and Stitch animated series, only far less adorable. I doubt even a little pink bow on its head would help it look cuter.

I am currently researching about yokai and yurei for my novel so thank you so much for this information.
