Tenome – [yokai] – Said to be the spirit of a Zato (Blind Musician) who was robbed & murdered in a field. His grudge transformed him into a yokai with eyes in the palms of his hands. It’s known to wander graveyards at night, chase people & suck out their bones! 😱 https://samkalensky.com/products/tenome/

A Haunted Akama-Inkstone, the stone overflows with waves of ink, tiny samurai battle! Caused by either the grudge by those that drown at “Dan-no-Ura” ..Or perhaps it was the talents of the calligrapher who wrote “The Tale of Heike” countless times. Full story/deep dive: https://samkalensky.com/products/suzuri-no-tamashii/

Yoro-no-gakuya – [Yokai|Tsukumogami] – Bunraku puppets used in Kanadehon Chushingura (47 Ronin) it’s said that every night past 3:AM the dressing room would come to life & they’d battle it out just like in the play. Perhaps they where enchanted by the actors talents.. ‎https://samkalensky.com/products/yoro-no-gakuya/
