8 Hilariously Nonthreatening Monsters from Japanese Folklore
And now for some not so scary monsters.
Japanese folklore and horror stories are known for their psychologically terrifying ghosts and monsters that prey on the minds and bodies of humans. For some of the most horrific examples, one need look no further than the Japanese horror boom of the early 2000’s, with the likes of The Ring and The Grudge introducing the west to a new, iconic generation of supernatural villains.
But there’s also a lighter side to Japanese folklore, where bumbling spirits cause only mild annoyance, actually enhance your daily life, and otherwise generally botch the whole job of haunting mankind and teaching vague moral lessons about treating your parents with respect and such. Here are our top eight most hilariously nonthreatening monsters – called Yokai – from Japanese stories:

LYRICS:
This world is a dewdrop world
Things pass, no, nothing lasts
A boy and a little girl
On a dewdrop
Tiny dewdrop
It’s a dewdrop world
He loves how she looks at him
She loves his shining skin
Hot sun burns away the pearls
Of the dewdrops
Tiny dewdrops
It’s a dewdrop world
A ring made of hard, cool stone
Tells her she’s not alone
They watch lazy smoke rings curl
On a dewdrop
That they can’t stop
Fading dewdrop world

ME AND FREDDIE AS… SIMS?
Direct link
Every now and then something comes into my inbox which is beautiful and extraordinary. And completely unexpected.
Here is a video made by someone I have never met, from elements of an existing video game, depicting a true story.
It absolutely captured my heart. I asked her if she’d allow me to share it with my ‘readers’ and she’s kindly said yes.
So here, created by Mia from ‘Sims 3’ characters she created herself, is a film …
based on one of my favourite and lesser-known QUEEN tracks ….
“THE MILLIONAIRE WALTZ” –

The Misguided Monk
Wonderful animated short with a lesson. Watch your thoughts as they become deeds. Watch your actions as they become your destiny.
When an old hermit monk has his day interrupted by an uninvited guest, he is unwillingly taken on a journey to discover the true meaning of companionship.
