A zombie, but with golden eyes and teeth—so gorgeous!✨

@yokai.comA-Yokai-A-Day for October 16
How do you tell the difference between an energy vampire and an ordinary old woman? Apparently, nothing is more monstrous than a woman who enjoys her life.

Today, Japan is known for giant monsters, like Godzilla. But in the Edo period, Japan was also known for giant monsters, like Ikuji.

Here’s the Moon Viewing series! 🍡
In Japan, it's a tradition to eat sweet rice dumplings (dango) while admiring the autumn moon.🌝

@yokai.comTonight's tale is about the triumph of courage over evil spirits, but to be honest it is more of a tragedy for fox lovers.
I actually suspect 100% of you will be rooting for the foxes.

Felt like sharing some of the commissioned APs! 🐰
Eventually, I'm planning to archive them all on my website too.

Japan is no stranger to ghosts of souls lost at sea—but is there any truth to these superstitions? An account from Sado claims there is.
🚣👻
@yokai.comA-Yokai-A-Day for October 12!
🌉👻
Next time you're in Akihabara, if you pass over Shōheibashi, you can tell your friends that the ghost of this young samurai was spotted there over 200 years ago.
@yokai.comA-Yokai-A-Day for October 11
Plenty of scary stories feature premonitions of one's own death. However, not too many of them feature children predicting their own posthumous funerary name.

@yokai.comCan you be *sure* that you are not being cursed by the gods right now? Can any of us be sure?
In today's story, it seems pretty clear that a divine curse was involved.
Remember, folks: Do NOT pick a god's herbs! 🌿
@yokai.comThe boy's ghost probably doesn't mean any harm, but there's still no telling what sort of bad luck might fall on you just for interacting with a ghost. Very little good ever comes from it.
@yokai.comThey're all fantastic! The retro vibe, the colors. These breathe new life into old movies. Keep em coming!
@yokai.comA-Yokai-A-Day for October 9
When you're at a friend's house and their kid shows up to play with you, always check to make sure they have feet! 👻
@yokai.comCannot get enough of old horror movie posters! <3
@yokai.comIn this case it would have been a body. Cremation is popular today, but at various times in the past, burial was the preferred method. So this would have been a stone coffin/tomb with a body in it; only in this case it was empty.
@yokai.comStrange things abound in today's A-Yokai-A-Day post!
Imagine knowing exactly where you are to be buried, and your coffin is already there waiting for you! Well, that happened to one samurai, according to this tale...
@yokai.comA-Yokai-A-Day for October 7:
"A Matter in Which It Is Difficult to Establish There Was No Yūrei"
How do you prove there was no yūrei? And whose job is it to do so?
👻👶
@yokai.comWhat would you do if you woke up in a hotel and there was a shadowy figure looming over your bed? 🛌🦊
Tonight's story is great nightmare fodder!
A-Yokai-A-Day: A Matter in Which It Is Hard to Say There Was No Yōkai
@yokai.comA-Yokai-A-Day for October 5: Yūrei Service
This seems like it could be a fun job! What kind of salary would you think someone hired as a yūrei takes home?
