Japan: The yokai (supernatural monster) Nurarihyon, leader of the 'Hyakki Yako' (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons). Sawaki Suushi, 'Hyakkai Zukan',1737

Nurarihyon or Nurihyon is a Japanese <i>yokai</i> (a supernatural monster in folklore) said to originate from Wakayama Prefecture. Nurarihyon is usually depicted as an old man with a gourd-shaped head and wearing a kesa robe. He is sometimes said to be leader of the yokai. Nurarihyon will sneak into someone's house while they are away, drink their tea, and act as if it is his own house. Because it looks human, anyone who sees him will mistake him for the owner of the house, making it very hard to expel him. Nurarihyon is the leader of the Hyakki Yako Night Parade of 100 Demons.
