A yokai depicted by Toriyama Sekien in Hyakki Tsurezure Bukuro. It shows a small goblin, monk-like in a komusō style, popping out of a box with a sake choko cup perched on its head. Sekien’s note alludes to the Tang-era tale of an ink spirit appearing before Emperor Xuanzong, hinting that this creature belongs to the same family of animated objects. The name combines bōzu imagery of mendicant Zen monks (kōro/boro/“kure-boro” wordplay), the komusō-like appearance, and the sake cup (choko), suggesting a half-monk, half-lay figure born of punning and visual play.
