Tsukumogami¹ are the amalgamations between a kami and an object that reached the 100-year anniversary of its crafting, which serves as the kami's ward.²

Appearance

An object that becomes a tsukumogami grows additional features such as a tongue, arms, or legs.²

Ecology

Tsukumogami run the gamut in personality, outlook and function. Most tsukumogami are not evil, but mischievous and scary. Benevolent tsukumogami form from well-kept and cared objects; while neglected or misused objects often form evil tsukumogami that are prone to transforming into oni. A tsukumogami is always merged with its ward, and unlike most kami, it forms an amalgam with its ward, so it can move and communicate while merged.²

Types

The best-known types of tsukumogami are the koto-furunishi, formed from koto; the kasa-obake, formed from umbrellas; and the boroboroton, formed from tattered old sleeping mats.²
