Ittan-momen

Ittan-momen are flying cloth spirits that derive from an old piece of cloth that has gained consciousness. They are said to glide through the air, frightening those they encounter. Their appearance and actions often represent themes of transformation and the supernatural qualities attributed to everyday objects.

Legend

In folklore, Ittan-momen is said to have the ability to envelop victims in cloth, leading to disorientation or fainting, illustrating the fabric's potential as more than mere material.
