Original - Hyakki Yagyo Guai (Sum-Art)Sum-Art

Sum-Art presents "Hyakki Yagyo Guai," an original collectible figure standing approximately 180mm tall and crafted from polystone and resin materials. The title references Hyakki Yagyo, or the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, a popular theme in traditional Japanese storytelling and art. The concept describes a parade of thousands of yōkai—shapeshifters, ghosts, deities, and preternatural creatures from Japanese mythology and folklore. These yōkai appear in various forms including humans, animals, natural objects, and man-made objects, with some depicted as humorous and bizarre while others are more menacing. The parade is sometimes portrayed as an orderly procession and other times as a chaotic riot, and has been a recurring subject in Japanese visual culture for centuries. This Sum-Art figure draws on these rich folklore traditions, translating the supernatural spectacle of the Night Parade into a sculpted collectible form. The polystone and resin construction at 180mm height makes it a compact yet detailed representation of this enduring Japanese mythological theme.
