〔〔一柳2008年77頁。〕 are a mythical ghost or yōkai in Japanese folklore. They are sometimes, but not always, considered a tsukumogami that old umbrellas turn into. They are also called ,〔造2007年 76-77頁。〕〔初見2009年 73頁。〕 ,〔水木1994年 144頁。〕 and . == Summary== They are generally umbrellas with one eye and jump around with one leg, but sometimes they have two arms or two eyes among other features,〔 and they also sometimes depicted to have a long tongue.〔 Sometimes, but rarely, they even have two feet, as depicted in the yōkai emaki such the "Hyakki Yagyo Zumaki."〔 In the Hyakki Yagyo Emaki from the Muromachi period, yōkai that appeared as umbrellas could be seen, but in this emaki, it was a humanoid yokai that that merely had an umbrella on its head, and thus had a different appearance than that resembling a kasa-obake.〔村上他2000年 54頁。〕 The kasa-obake that took on an appearance with one eye and one foot was seen from the Edo period and onwards, and in the Obake karuta made from the Edo period to the Taishō period, kasa-obake with one foot could often be seen.〔 In the yōkai sugoroku "Mukashi-banashi Yōkai Sugoroku (百種怪談妖物双六)" the Ansei era, a kasa-obake was depicted under the name "." Among the many non-living or still object yōkai depicted in the "Hyakki Yagyo Emaki," only the umbrella yōkai can be seen to have remain well-known even after the Edo period, and it is said to be the most well-known yōkai of an object.〔 They frequently appear in legends and caricatures,〔〔田神他編2006年 72頁。〕 and as opposed to how they are a yōkai that is unusually well-known, they do not appear in any eye-witness stories in folklore at all,〔 and it is not clear what kind of yōkai they are.〔 Literature about them are not accompanied by folktales, and thus they are considered to be a yōkai that appear only in made-up stories〔 or exist only in pictures.〔 After the war, there was also the interpretation that they were an existence that was on the same level as manga characters.〔 One possibility that has been thought of is that when Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai became popular in the Edo period, the story-tellers were requested to tell new stories and about yōkai that is not yet known throughout society, and thus they were a yōkai created by individuals. For tools used in human life, there was the way of thought that, as months and years pass by and these tools become older, they have an ability to become apparitions. These are called tsukumogami, and some literature consider this yōkai to be one example of them,〔 but it has not been confirmed that there are any classical literature or classical essays that verifies this.〔 After the war, they became a representative character for depictions of obake and haunted houses,〔〔 and are frequently used as characters anime, manga,〔 and movies that have a theme on yōkai,〔 and are also generally doodled by children.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kasa-obake」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
