Tsurure-bi - [Yokai Bonsai] - A cold flame that drops & bobs from pines in a teardrop shape. Said to be the same thing as a kodama (tree spirit.) Faces of beasts appear in the cackling fire but Tsurube-bi is not dangerous at all, as their the flame does not burn! samkalensky.com/products/tsu...

![Menreiki - (面霊気) - [Yokai | Noh mask] - "Spirit-Masks" - "Sixty Six Ancient Noh Masks that where said to be brought to life as they where perhaps "enchanted the talent of the performer who first wore them." These masks, once used in outstanding performances, gained a soul themselves: Either from the essence of the performers raw talent, or perhaps through the following decades of neglect... It has been said that when Noh masks are left alone; they may move at night, if more than 4 are gathered they might start talking.. It's important to take good care of such treasures!"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2qhnojh2joagxxpcyedopa7u/bafkreih5b74rr43c624fxga3iprvypkqxzie6nipnvwy7s5udf5ucgg7hm)
