Jotai

Japanese in origin, jotai are a form of “tsukumogami,” or spirit created from a folding-screen cloth used to separate areas in a room. These spirits manifest when an inanimate object has existed for at least a century, after which it becomes alive and aware. Anything this old can become a tsukumogami. In the case of suspected jotai, always know the age of your folding screen before changing clothes behind one — along with any other activities that you might wish kept private and not subject to gossip amongst tsukumogami. Having no true lives of their own, these spirits live through the actions of humans. Of course, in the modern consumer age, you may not have any household items over a century old, but beware your great-great-grandmother’s teapot.

Ann: “Sure, why not? It’s not a food item. Scarf it down to your heart’s delight. So long as it’s made from plant fibers, not a treyf animal. And only one type of fiber — no mixing of wool and linen.”

Evil Monkey: “Doesn’t sound too good. I think I’ll pass.”
