Personality Quiz: What Yōkai are you?

 
Yōkai are mythical, supernatural beings that are popular in Japanese folklore and mythology.  They are often influenced by nature and can resemble animals, inanimate household objects or people. Yōkai have traditionally had spiritual or supernatural abilities, with shapeshifting being a common theme throughout them. This is often why it’s believed that Yōkai have influenced many characters we find in Pokémon or Studio Ghibli films. 

At the Young V&A, there’s currently a parade of Kasa-obake Yōkai that have been made from abandoned umbrellas left on London transport. These playful spirits are a type of tsukumogami, everyday objects that receive a spirit and find new life as yōkai on their 100th birthday. Each of these Yōkai have their own, different characters – some cheeky, some serious. Let’s find out which Young V&A Yōkai you are!
