      What would the video be about though? "Objects come to life after 100 years and become a class of yokai called tsukumogami. The end"? There's no story inherent to them - like most yokai, these are a _class_ of creature, not one specific identifiable creature.

    I imagine the reason there is so much folklore revolving around woodsmen is because they were the ones who ventured into the forests - and thus nature and away from civilization - and would thus be most likely to encounter some sort of spooky beast. Kind of like a cautionary tale for children.

    I notice that when there is a mystical/magical creature involved and is usually a woman having kids with a human; the story is similar to this. Many Irish and Japanese lore, from those I can remember have similar situations where the mystical woman who can either shape shift or something have the same backstory of sparing/having kids with the human and having an ending of them leaving or the guy/some event where she has to leave.

    With how many times a woodcutter or fisherman gets a yokai for a wife and has to follow some strange demands I'm surprised I've never heard of a game or anime where that's the plot. Since farming sims have gotten pretty popular, and the harem anime genre has held on to life with an iron grip since the late 80s, I would have thought we'd have tons of strangely detailed woodcutting simulators luring otaku in with anime girls only to slap them with someones deep love of the profession.

Usually, a man survives an encounter with a monster that makes him promise not to tell anyone. He obeys and meets a woman that he marries and has children with. For some reason, he tells her about that night, and she reveals that she is that monster.

Then the wife had to leave cause he broke his promise but the storm went away so ya know a lil more net positive.
