The 25 Bakezōri reward figures are finally complete! The acrylic keychains have also arrived — now I’m just waiting for the books and postcards to come back from the printer. Starting next week, I’ll begin packing preparations like wrapping and addressing. Just a little more to go — I’ll do my best!

Bakezori is a Yokai in the shape of a straw sandal that will come to your house if your footwear is dirty.
It doesn't do anything bad. It just stays inside.
It's unconfortable to have dirt from your shoes get into your house. This is the Yokai, Bakezouri.

In Japanese folklore bakezori are straw sandals that have been mistreated and forgotten by owners, causing them to develop supernatural powers and become yokai. They grow arms, legs and a single eye and run about the house at night making noise, chanting and causing mischief.

A fairly harmless tsukumogami. A little impish, but not too worrisome of a yokai.
![[Top Section] Bakezōri; Region: Japan
[Middle Section] A straw zōri with a large eye, a tear of a mouth with a lolling tongue, and slender straw arms and legs. Accompanied by descriptive text.
Tsukumogami born from neglected zōri.
Known for their signature chant: "Kararin, kororin, kankorin! Managu mittsu ni ha ninmai!" The latter half of the chant refers to "eyes three and teeth two" which may refer to their fellow type of sandal, the geta.
Run around inside homes at night, making noises and surprising inhabitants.
[Bottom Section] Some depictions in popular culture: Demon Blade (2019); Yo-Kai Watch Franchise [Pitapatt] (2013 - Present); GeGeGe no Kitarō Franchise (1986 - Present)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tsfvgiiehbannefovmdxxk5s/bafkreiegdovy7wrvgga3jmlbjclpoujiqvynxlbdsaykn6utprg2d3ecoe)

Meet Bakori, the embodiment of the "'Bakezōri" concept.
She was once a sandal that, after being ignored for a long time, gained life. Bakori is said to haunt inhabited households at night, running around and chanting nonstop.

Yokai 69 — Chancleto 🩴👣

Se basa en el Bakezōri, un yokai nacido de una sandalia de paja olvidada que cobraba vida para hacer travesuras por la noche. También se inspira en Betobeto-san, el yokai que hace que sientas pasos detrás de ti cuando caminas solo de noche.

So, this is a cool reference to Japanese mythology. The Sandals are a Bakezōri, the umbrella is a Kasa-obake, and the lamp is a Chōchin'obake. #Onepiece

An illo done for SNAFU Con (thanks, @unisama.bsky.social !) I was given the theme of folklore and free rein as to what to pick, so I went with an assortment of tsukumogami.
