Yokai Etiquette

"Applying makeup on the train!? It's enough to scare a yokai!"

Now here's a train-etiquette sign that would only make sense to Japanese commuters (or someone who's read Yokai Attack!) A nopperabo ("faceless one") puts on her makeup as other yokai look on, including a One-Eyed Boy, a Kappa, a Snake-Necked Woman, and a haunted umbrella.

Personally, I've never had a big problem with people (or monsters) applying makeup on the train, but maybe that's because I almost never have to commute during rush hour.

I just hope they remind the kappa that it's not polite to suck out any buttholes on the train, either.

And he's not even wearing any clothes!

That's a cool poster. I'd like to hang one in my apartment.

I saw this post then came across this image on Tumblr a few days later:

That looks like one hell of a movie!

It is! It's called "Yokai Monsters: 100 Monsters" in English.
