Normally you wouldn’t want a ghost hanging around your house, but you will want to welcome in the Obake Light (¥3,780) from Yuruliku Design. This charming little spirit is actually a nightlight that will help you get to the bathroom in the middle of the night without tripping over the coffee table. The playful three-dimensional shape is handmade from textured washi paper, making for a soft, warm glow. If you need a nocturnal guardian spirit to watch over you or simply don’t want to feel lonely during long, dark evenings, let this little guy in.
