Ashi-magari
足まがり
A ghostly phenomenon from the folklore of Kagawa Prefecture on Shikoku, Japan. It is a soft thing, like a kitten or a wad of cotton, which is felt wrapping itself around a person's leg at night, impeding the ability to walk. While it is not generally visible, it is often believed to be the trick of a tanuki.

I've got a couple of Japanese monster encyclopedias myself. One is by the master himself Shigeru Mizuki who created Gegege no Kitaro many decades ago. It has little to do with his manga and more to do with the monsters and locations they were drawn upon. Of course it is all in Japanese and my survival Japanese can't do too much with it since it doesn't have furigana next to the kanji. Gegege no Kitaro 2007 open http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgiodtFqQy8The other book is an encyclopedia from the Hell Teacher Nube manga. It is slightly easier to read but the monsters are more as they appear in the manga series but still based on real Japanese folklore. Nube open http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MrnaTGF-20Nube end 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqz8fuLaYeg

Of course, plenty of cool monsters though more often than not what we call monsters the Japanese would call spirits, gods or demons. Another great place to see some of the folklore creatures are in the anime movies Spirited Away and Pom Poko both by Studio Ghibli. The latter title uses many images inspired by Shigeru Mizuki's works (the creator of Gegege no Kitaro).

Some if not most of them are. Of course there is a spirit for everything in Japan, even inanimate objects. I saw a shrine to rice ladels in the mountains over Kobe during my trip this year.
The Shigeru Mizuki encyclopedia has shrines to artificial limbs, crutches, plier and nails, combs and more. Some "monsters" are everyday objects given face and limbs like umbrellas (kasa obake), paper lanters (chochin obake) and various musical instruments.
