Mikoshi-nyūdō
text:
Mikoshi-nyūdō is a type of bald-headed yōkai "goblin" with an ever-extending neck. In Japanese folklore and Edo period (1603–1868) kaidan "ghost story" texts, mikoshi-nyūdō will frighten people who look over the top of things such as byōbu folding screens. The name combines mikoshi 見越し "looking over the top; anticipation; expectation" and nyūdō 入道 "a (Buddhist) priest; a bonze; a tonsured monster".
