October Monsters 26

Namahage 2

Namahage go around carrying a large chopping knife (Deba-bocho) to cut off namomi (blisters accrued from lazily sitting at home in front of the fire). In some areas, they also carry gohei, sacred wooden wands hung with paper streamers that symbolize their status as Shinto gods.
