Description
One of the reasons for Yokais existence, has always been to explain things people of the time had a hard time explaining.
Illnesses where one of them. And whilst in europe, illnesses sometimes where explained by demons inhabiting the body, this job in japan was done by.... the yokai of course.
There is a whole bunch of microsized yokai that reak havok in your body.
And for these two pictures I tried to gather as many of them as I could.

Top left to bottom right
Umakan - A tiny red horse that causes heart problems
Akuchu - tiny clawless lobster living in the spleen. Parasitic. It loves rice.
Hizo-No-Kasamushii - Forktailed Worm (with a hat). it infects the spleen, causing weight loss.
Jinshaku - Tiny boar, that causes a weak pulse, dark complexion, bad breath and a craving for salty food.
Gyochu - Multiarmed and somewhat gras-like with a long tongue and many arms.
Hinosha - looks like a small rock and is usually dormant, unless when the host is in a sightseeing are ( yeah I know. weirdly specific). There it causes dizzyness and lung fluttering. It also lives in the spleen. (quite a crowded place)
Hishaku - Yellow, sluglike and with a dogs face it lives only in womens spleens, causing yellow complexion, a craving for sweets and oddly enough a compulsion to hum....
Haishaku - looks like a tiny cloud, or a very fluffy white flower. It lives in the lungs, from where it causes sadness and a love for spicy food.
Haimushi - This little insect causes lung problems.
Chishaku - Tadpole shaped with a hammerlike head this worm , as they call it, infects the stomach of an already weakened body.

You will see, that a few of these miniyokai wear hats. Its said that they protect them from medicine.
