Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Tsukumogami literally translates to 'tool spirit'—objects that gain souls after 100 years of service, a concept dating to 10th century Japanese folklore.
The manga author, Onigunsou, initially pitched this as a horror series before editors pushed for the warmer found-family tone that defines the anime.
