Red Chōchin Obake (Tall Paper Lantern Ghost) 8"x8" Yokai Print

Meet Marv, a chōchin obake (ちょうちんおばけ), or paper lantern ghost. This slimy looking fellow is a tall, red "cylindrical" type lantern. They say when a paper lantern, or a chōchin, reaches an advanced age, it may transform into a chōchin obake. The paper of the lantern splits along one of its wooden ribs, forming a gaping mouth with a wild, lolling tongue. Chōchin obake rarely cause physical harm, preferring simply to surprise and scare humans.
