Today’s yokai is a little bit late! It takes a while to do the writeups in addition to the illustration, so I won’t say too much on the blog here about it. I do like this ghost, as it is both creepy and sad at the same time, yet a little heartwarming too. It’s similar to an ubume, but not nearly as scary.

This was done by request of my Patreon backers, who love Japanese ghosts! I hope you guys enjoy it. Remember, you can become a Patreon backer too! $1 per month helps support the creation of yokai and the maintenance of yokai.com!
