Monster Papercraft - Yakubyogami

Continuing Jerom's Japanese monster papercrafts (based on Japanese folklore), here is the Yakubyogami - a demon that causes illness, misfortune, and sorrow.
Until the late 19th century, Japanese people believed illness was spread by evil gods called yakubyogami. At first these gods were thought to take human form, but later, influenced by thinking in texts from China, some people came to think of them as little beasties small enough to enter the body. - The Japan Times Online
