Clay sculpture
Blazing red-haired house spirit of Tosa, cousin to the zashiki-warashi, dwelling where hearths thrive.
Its trademarks are its tousled red hair and bright red nose. The color is said to be so vivid that it is difficult to look at directly. This childlike yokai is believed to bring prosperity to any household it chooses to inhabit. It is considered a relative of the zashiki-warashi, a type of household spirit found in legends throughout Japan.
