Vintage Japanese Yokai Nurarihyon Magnet

This monster was drawn by Sawaki Suushi in 1737, in the Edo Period of Japanese history in a scroll collection called the Hyakkai-Zukan, or The Illustrated Volume of a Hundred Spirits. This yokai, Nurarihyon, originated as a sea monster, despite his old man appearance. In the legends of Okayama Prefecture, the Nurarihyon's head appeared in the sea floating on the surface. When people tried to catch it, it would repeatedly sink and resurface, as if mocking them. He's basically a funny interpretation of a jellyfish or Portuguese man-of-war.
