Diminutive corner spirit beating a miniature drum late at night to soothe restless nurseries into sleep.
From the catalogue
A tiny yokai said to appear late at night, emerging from the corner of a room while beating a small drum. When a child would not stop crying at night, parents would soothe—or frighten—them by saying, "Sumabon is coming."
