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
Kanmushi - a tiny white snake with frontlegs. It infects the spine, causing it to bend backwards and causes a lust for spicy food.
Hizo-No-Mushi - a tiny red monkey that causes dizzyness and hot flushes.
Koshi-No-Mushi - It looks like a mix between a worm and a Butterfly or Dragonfly. one of the problems it causes are chestpains.
Koseu - A snakelike yokai with a bearded human face. It wears a hat and is capable of human speach. It loves sake.
Kameshaku - a tiny red turtle with a hat or umbrella.
Kishaku - a dark red yokai with a doglike body, a round head and three tentacle like feelers. it causes an appetite for oily food.
Kjukan - Miniature fox that lives in the chest. It causes pain during mealtimes.
Kanshaku - A slug with a human face. It resides in the liver and is responsible for sudden outbreaks of rage. It hates oily food.
Hizo-No-Kesshaku - Tubeshaped parasite ( reminds me of a maggot)
Kagemushi - elongated bodies with wiry legs. The male Kagemushi are white , the females are red. They mate when their hosts mate.

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