A Japanese tree-associated yōkai reported especially in Kansai and Tōkai regional traditions and in Edo-period kaidan collections. It is described variably as a bucket-like object, a severed head, or a ball of fire that drops from large, old trees to menace, abduct, or devour passers-by; some classical sources frame it as a fire-phase manifestation of an aged tree.

Tsurubebi

A type of fire yōkai depicted in Edo-period compendia and found in regional folklore as dangling bluish-white balls of fire associated with tree branches along mountain paths at night. Treated variously as an atmospheric ghost-light, a tree spirit manifesting as flame, or folkloric analogue to tsurube-otoshi.
