This is actually a totally different yokai than Takehara Shunsen’s yamachichi. That one is spelled 山地乳 and is actually a bat which has undergone two different yokai transformations: first to a nobusama (a kind of flying-squirrel yokai), then finally to a yamachichi. I haven’t featured him on my blog yet, but I would like to feature him in my book.

Also, there is the Takehara Shunsen´s Yamachichi, that ape-like creature that sucks out the life of people by the mouth. Did you do him, also?
