    Let's talk about another Japanese monster- chouchin obake (paper lantern monster, 提灯おばけ). Similar to kasa obake, chouchin obake was transformed from a Japanese traditional lantern. However, kasa obake acts like a little animal, and chouchin obake is much more girlish. You may fall in love with chouchin obake if you meet her ;)

    Chouchin obake is composed of three segments. Of course, she has a real chouchin (paper lantern) as her root of existence. Below the lantern, there is a pair of female legs. Those legs look pretty realistic, and they do walk. Chouchin obake needs them for transporting herself.

    There is the "fairy segment" above the lantern. It was formed by chouchin obake's spiritual energy and represents how does the chouchin obake think about herself. The small fairy is very cute and vivid, it may play or dance with you all day long to share her feeling of happiness to you.

    See, she's walking to you, and invites you to watch firework show with her. would you? ;>
