    Tenome(eyes in hands)

    Tenome(Eyes in Hands,lit. translation hand's eyes or hands of eyes, てのめ) was a blind man who was beaten up and murdered by a mugger. He returned as a ghost, but his desire for revenge was so great that his blind eyes were gone, and instead, he grew new eyes in his hands.
    Now Tenome roams through cities and villages of Japan, searching for the mugger who murdered him. He sees by waving his hands in front of him.
    But Tenome never saw the face of his attacker and simply kills whoever he can get his hands on. Although he has eyes in his hands, he is still figuratively blinded by his anger.Here's my Tenome action figure.I sculpted his head from clay over a CTVT Mystro made clowns head. I sculpted his hands from clay over a pair of Doc Mego white hands which I dyed blue(with rit) and cut the fingers off of(except the thumb).For the Body I used a Castaway Toys Light Blue body(really works good for this Yokai).For his outfit I altered a CTVT Buzcut Mad Clowns outfit,I cut to give it a Japanese appearance and dyed dark with Rit fabric dye.I painted all the sculpted parts and sealed with ModPodge.

                          Thanks Thomas!I should have said though that Tomoko actually made this one for Nurarihyon,but she said it wasn't quit right(I thought it looked great),so when she made his over Kimono,she sewwed him a whole new under-Kimono as well.Since I had an extra kimono I thought it would look 100 times better on Tenome then the thing I originally put together for him.
