Gazu Hyakki Tsurezure Bukuro
The Tedious Bag of a Hundred Vessels

The Gazu Hyakki Tsurezure Bukuro, published in 1784, is the fourth and last book in Toriyama Sekien's Gazu Hyakki Yakō series. The "Hyakki" in its title is a pun on the usual hyakki, replacing the character for "demon" 鬼 with a character for "vessel" 器, and indeed most of the monsters on its pages are tsukumogami.
