Eritate-Goromo - [Yokai | Tsukumogami] - The high collared Kimono of the profoundly prideful Tengu King, Sōjōbō of Mt Kurama. After decades of being worn by such a powerful yokai, the robes sprung to life. Perhaps they are just prideful as the Tengu who wore them... samkalensky.com/products/eri...

Lumber Rats - [Fearsome Critter] - Ordinary Pack rats (& mice) which grew to the size of bears from eating pancake crumbs at Ol'Pauls cook shanties. Paul decided to train & breed 'em to help the lesser Axe Men haul redwoods by "twisting their tails." 🐀 samkalensky.com/products/lum...

Hyōtan-kozō - [yokai] - Once a hollow drinking gourd; used like a bottle or flask, but instead of holding “spirits" it was used superstitiously as a vessel to trap bad luck. it became a sickly Tsukumogami. It pops out of thickets, causing monks to riot in prayer! - samkalensky.com/products/hyo...

Abumi-Guchi - [Yokai | Tsukumogami] - A lost stirrup of a mounted Samurai who took an arrow to the knee & died during the Genpei war. Now the stirrups wander the battlefields; lamenting their riders anguish with a sorrowful song, still loyal to their cause. 🐎 samkalensky.com/products/abu...

Furu-Utsubo - [Yokai|Tsukumogami] - an antiquated arrow quiver used for hunting foxes in Nasuno. Owned by renown archer and general Miura Yoshiaki. After he died heroically, his quiver came to life! Now it scuttles about wildly, much like the beasts they once hunted. samkalensky.com/products/fur...
