🎎DOLL DILEMMA👹
The question of what happens to unwanted dolls is a very serious one in Japan.
Household items, should they reach the age of 100, may acquire a soul or spirit, and as they are human in shape, dolls are particularly susceptible to becoming 'tsukumogami' (付喪神).
Day 10 of Stream Ink is Possessed, just like this little fellow here, the kasa-obake.
Kasa-obake (which translates to Umbrella Ghost) is a type of yōkai known as a tsukumogami - everyday objects which, usually through advanced age, become possessed of a spirit. Like most tsukumogami, this lil guy’s a pretty chill buddy.

Rengidori - "擂木鳥" - [Yokai] - A Tsukumogami of an antiquated wooden pestle. Freed from its mortar, it sprouts wings and flies away!!! - its full story seems to be lost to time, but it seems to be based after an old saying: "擂木が鳥になる" - "The pestle becomes a Bird." it often appears in Edo period board & card games.
