October Theme: Yōkai (Japanese Spirits)

The word yōkai (妖怪) is a Japanese term that refers to a wide range of supernatural beings, spirits, and phenomena in Japanese folklore. The word can be translated as "mysterious apparitions" or "strange apparitions."

Yōkai are thought to impact people's lives in both positive and negative ways. They are sometimes portrayed as scary, but can also be playful, relatable, and even cute. These beings have been featured in many forms of Japanese media, including ukiyo-e art, movies, and anime.

Three (3) origami patterns ranging from beginner to advanced are available for participants to enjoy. Stop by and fold origami yōkai and add them to the Halloween decorations at home!
