That's a nice umbrella you got there sir!
Etant dans l'ambiance du jeu Okami en ce moment, je trouve ce post d'autant plus sympa! MOAR o/
Pretty much like the "frevo" dancers in Brazil. Frevo dancers dresses much like the way your Yokai does, but with more colors, and they do have umbrellas too, but they're a little bit shorter than that "karakasa"; it's like a "dance instrument". They're a part of brazilian culture, northeastern culture, to be more precise.
The quality of the drawing is wonderful. Congratulations. Don't take too many geological eras to post, cos' you're really good
nice sprite!
