So what are Yokai?

妖怪とは、人知を超えた怪奇現象やそれを起こす不思議な力、非日常的な事象をモチーフにした「化け物」のことです。
Yōkai are, in simple terms, monsters or spirits. They are inspired by weird phenomena that humans cannot comprehend, or based on strange powers, or events that may have happened that cannot be explained.

古くから日本人の心の中に住み着いていた妖怪たち。「葛飾北斎」や「歌川国芳」などの浮世絵にも数多く描かれ、現代では映画や映画やアニメでも親しまれています。
怖くて、可愛くて、ユーモラスな姿の妖怪たちをアクセサリーとして身近に感じてもらえたら嬉しいです。
Since time immemorial, Yōkai have been held close to Japanese people's hearts. Famous ukiyo-e painters such as Katsushika Hokusai or Utagawa Kuniyoshi have depicted these spirits in various paintings, and even today in popular movies and anime they can be found.
We also hold them close to our hearts, and so we have created our handmade Yōkai series of accessories.
