Brief Bio 

In Japanese folklore, Tsukumogami are sentient spirits that inhabit inanimate objects, typically after they reach 100 years of age. These animated objects, often household items, are believed to gain a soul and potentially develop mischievous or even harmful personalities. The concept of Tsukumogami reflects a belief in animism, where objects possess spirits, and the idea that these spirits can become active after a certain period of time.
