- quote
Chōchin-obake (提灯お化け, "paper lantern ghost") is a type of Tsukumogami,
"[the] lantern-spook (chochinobake) ... a stock character in the pantheon of ghouls and earned mention in the definitive demonology of 1784." The Chōchin-obake also appears in the obake karuta card game, popular from the Edo period to the early 20th century (and still in use today).



The Chōchin-obake in particular was created from a chōchin lantern, composed of "bamboo and paper or silk."
They are portrayed with "one eye, and a long tongue protruding from an open mouth."
