In Japanese folklore, it’s a common belief that everything has a spirit. A household object that is older than one hundred years can be possessed by a Yōkai, a spirit or ghost, and become Tsukumogami (付喪神). As long as you treat the object respectfully, there is nothing to worry about. But if you don’t… That’s why I always have an eerie feeling in my stomach when I explore the old abandoned house, but the play of shadows makes the result worth it.
