Kasa-obake(Karakasa)

[yokaijohn]

Kasa Obake (傘お化け, "umbrella ghost"), or Karakasa Obake or Karakasa Kozo, are a type of Tsukumogami, a folk legend about a form of Japanese spirit that originate from objects reaching their 100th year of existence, thus becoming animate. Karakasa in particular are Spirits of Parasols (umbrellas) that reach the century milestone. They are typically portrayed with one eye, a long tongue protruding from an open mouth, and a single foot, generally wearing a geta.
I Sculpted his umbrella(Kasa)from air-dry Clay and attached with E-6000 to a CTVT male leg.I sculpted his geta over the legs foot from air-dry clay as well.I attached CTVT male arms with E-6000 also.I painted the entire figure with acrylics and sealed with ModPodge.

Very neat idea. I also like that you gave the legend of this figure .

I will never look at an umbrella the same way again.

I'll go on a limb here and proclaim this figure the most unique idea of 2010.

Definitely.

I like it! Maybe in 100 years, the figure of the animate parosal will itself become animate, too. (A Meta-Karakasa?)

Also, it reminds me a bit of Kenner's Ghostbusters stuff - one of my favorite toy lines.
