cats in Japanese it's a type of Japanese
yokai or supernatural creature they
possess shape-shifting abilities and
usually disappear into small cats or
human beings I'll link everything that

cat creatures even the kids people
gather around to enjoy face painting
performances and the buckin echo parade

old got into the spirit we set out to
explore and find some of the best
costumes of the festival
