Shirime
尻目　（しりめ）
Buttocks Eye
other names: Nuppori-bōzu ぬっぽり坊主　（ぬっぷりぼうず ）

Shirime is a descriptive name sometimes given to a monster appearing in a yōkai picture scroll painted by haiku poet Yosa Buson between 1754 and 1757. One of eight strange creatures depicted therein in simple haiga style, it has the following appearance:
The nuppori-bōzu monster of Katabira crossroads in the capital. It has no facial features, and one eye, which is in its anus, and its shining is like lightning.
Not sure if this Shiri-me's eye shines like lightning,but here's my Shirime action figure.I sculpted his head from clay.For the body I used an Emce Keeper's body,I sculpted his Oshiri and his eye(me) onto the body with clay.I painted all sculpted parts with acrylics and sealed with Mod-Podge.

[yokaijohn]

Thanks Cap!Well I do believe there is a female Yokai(I'll have to check)that has teeth and a tongue in a certain place.

Actually Cat,she's a little ways off(not saying I'm not going to make her mind you),but I had heard of her way,way back(I don't remember all the details),so I'm going to have to find the details first(like her name,etc.).I'll let you (and Thomas too)know when I do.
@Sandy:Thanks,glade you like my clay and plastic Yokai Children.My job right now is pretty much taking care of the baby and making sculpture(including the custom figures).I've made 38 Yokai action figures now and I have three more on the way two just need Kimono(hopefully my Wife can do one of them this week)and one just needs to be painted(and maybe a clay tweak here and there).
