Kasa Obake, a creature of Japanese folklore, is one of the most well-known yokai in Japan. This mysterious creature is said to be an old or broken umbrella that has been transformed into a ghost, with one eye, one leg, and a long tongue. While some depictions may show the creature with two legs or two arms, the most common version is the one-legged Kasa Obake, as seen in the Hyakki Yagyo Zumaki by Enshin Kanō.
