Day 21 - Mage

It was snowing today while I was at work. So I made a Yuki Onna Witch. Broom straw is coming out the bottom. I feel like it is pretty obvious, but anxiety says explain

I've watched every episode and film (live action and animated) of GeGeGe no Kitarō. My favourite animated version is Hakaba Kitarō. My favourite live action are the two TV movies made in 1985 and 1987. You can check out the different anime versions in this article.
