Karakasa-Obake/QnA

Q&A Information

Refer to: Q&A with Kenkou Cross

The size of the tongue attached to Karakasa-Obake's umbrella is... or is it possible to change the thickness? If I could change the thickness, I would be able to french kiss it, or wrap my whole body in a pseudo-mouth play like a sandworm, and so on.

She can change it.

Please let me know. The long tongue of Karakasa-Obake, where does it grow from? I assume from the top of her head? Also, there are eyes on the umbrella, do you mean to say that there are nerves running through it? If I were to use an analogy, I would say that it is positioned like Dullahan's neck.

It grows from the top of the head, or rather from the inside of the umbrella. There is sensation in the umbrella, too. It doesn't seem to have much of a sense of pain, but it is said to feel good when the surface of the umbrella is stroked.

Hi, I always look forward to seeing your work. Do you feel like you can see something with the umbrella eyelets that Karakasa-chan has this time?

Yes, it can see things. It seems to come in handy mainly when she's cooped up inside with her husband with the umbrella closed.

Can a Karakasa-obake who holds the user and closes the umbrella to form a shielding space move in that state or disappear from the normal space as it is, and withdraw from a threat (avoiding danger such as being buried alive while being invincible)?

You can move freely. Since the female part is completely hidden by closing the hat, the appearance at that time seems to look like a Karakasa-obake (of the figure as a monster) before becoming a monster girl.

There is a talisman attached to Karakasa-obake's umbrella, does it work like a magic item? Is it made by Inari or Dragon?

What this girl is wearing is an ordinary matchmaking amulet w, but I think there are amulets with magic power in the world.

Karasaka-Obake-chan seems to have both legs restrained, but what happens to their legs when walking or crossing.

They can float and bounce with magic (they have a great sense of balance, but they sometimes fall). Some of them are held by their husbands or in ekiben style. In addition, when crossing, the cloth on the legs is made of magic (it is subtly transparent) and can be erased freely. [Ekiben style refers to this. https://hinative.com/questions/10488663]

Can anything other than Japanese umbrellas become Karakasa-obakes? Also, do things like Western umbrellas change the appearance and nature of the parasol significantly?

Yes, they can. The nature doesn't change much, but the appearance will change considerably. If it's a Western umbrella with frills, it looks like it's going to be a girl with a vertical roll and a soft-spoken voice.

What happens to the umbrella when the Karakasa-Obake lies down? Can it be removed?

It is not detachable. However, the umbrella is not attached to the body, but floats with magic, so the height can be adjusted, and if you lie down, only the person part will lie down, and the umbrella will remain in place, like a "canopy" on a futon.

It seems that the "Karakasa-Obake-chan" is mainly born in Zipangu, but can she be born anywhere?

Yes, she can be born anywhere. I heard that tsukumogami are more likely to be born in Zipangu, though, perhaps due to the difference in the quality of the air and mana.
