While eagerly waiting for the printed books to arrive, I’m creating something special for all my supporters — a mini “Thank You Scroll,” or as I call it, the “Thanks Roll,” filled with gratitude.

Finished all the packaging!!
Now it’s just a matter of waiting for the printed books and prints to arrive!

The 25 Bakezōri reward figures are finally complete! The acrylic keychains have also arrived — now I’m just waiting for the books and postcards to come back from the printer. Starting next week, I’ll begin packing preparations like wrapping and addressing. Just a little more to go — I’ll do my best!

Hello! My yokai book is almost finalized and I remade the Nuppeppō for book. I tried using a new squishy material for texture, but it didn’t work well with an armature. The flocking powder made it look messy, but luckily I managed to take good photos before coating, so those will go in the book.

It’s done!!!

Thank you so much everyone for your support on my project, especially everyone who helped fund it ❤️

Let the Yokai parade begin!!

Hi everyone. Thank you so much for all the shares and support over the past few days.I’ve reached 97% of our target—just a little more to go! I’d really appreciate it if you could help spread the word.
The photo shows a sample of the reward postcard.

The photo shows “Tofu Kozou,” which will be made into an acrylic flat keychain as one of the rewards. Since we’ll place the order with the manufacturer after confirming the final quantity, there isn’t a sample yet, but I believe the finished product will look just as cute as the photo!

Only 3 days left until the launch of my yokai book project!
I would greatly appreciate your support and help in spreading the word.

These are samples of the book cover and pages. The design and layout are still in progress, with high-resolution images to be added and further refinements to come.

This collection features puppet figures that look as if they’ve stepped out of a yōkai picture scroll. Over 120 famous yōkai from the Edo period are faithfully recreated, bringing traditional flat illustrations to life in puppet model for a unique viewing experience.
