Kasa Bake - Ghost Umbrella

Tsukumogami Series

This is the representation of a ghost umbrella. In Japanese it is said kasa bake. You can find its name translated in other ways to our alphabet, such as kasa-bake o kasa-obake.

Apparently there are a few supernatural umbrellas. One is drawn in the story (舌切り雀 shita-kiri suzume) "The sparrow with the severed tongue".well known in Japan. Another named hone karakasa appears in an old illustration of Toriyama Sekien.

 For a long time the kasa bake is depicted as a rather cute smiling creature with one eye and tongue hanging out.like this one that you can see here.

If you want to see a kasa bake great fun, be sure to attend Yokai Monster: One Hundred Monsters of 1968. In this movie there are some great scenes with a ghost umbrella.

This drawing is available for the realization of a tattoo. Contact with me if you want to make an appointment or if you want to find out what it would be like to get a tattoo.  

About my designs:

- I do not perform more than a single tattoo with each drawing what do I do. Although I can always prepare a new one like it, I do not repeat them on the skin.
- Please ask for to other tattoo artists who can use this drawing as an example of a reference for tattoos that do not copy it as is.
- The exclusivity of the drawings adds value to tattoos and the production of new drawings improves the quality of our work.
