Abumi-guchi

Traditionally depicted as a tsukumogami, the abumi-guchi is said to form from a stirrup (abumi) that once belonged to a soldier who fell in battle. Sources describe it as arising in connection with the stirrup left where its owner died and as waiting there for the soldier's return; the available texts present this formation as folkloric attribution rather than a detailed causal mechanism.

Primary visual reference for the abumi-guchi is Sekien Toriyama's illustration in Gazu Hyakki Tsurezure Bukuro. Modern summaries describe it as a 'strange furry yōkai.' Beyond this iconographic identification and the brief label of 'furry,' the supplied sources do not provide further specific visual details.

Sources record a single behavioral attribute: the abumi-guchi is said to wait where the stirrup lies for the dead soldier to return. The supplied materials do not ascribe other supernatural powers, offensive capabilities, speech, movement details, or additional behaviors.
