Light Bandana - Yōkai Cards

Regular price $ 12.00
/

This bandana is covered with images of yōkai, supernatural monsters and spirits in Japanese folklore. Yōkai can take the forms of any living creatures, or even inanimate objects. Some of them look scary, but many look quite silly and friendly. Yōkai are not necessarily evil creatures; they have been feared but also revered and loved for many years in Japan.
