Aoandon, or Aoandō (青行灯 or 青行燈, "blue andon") is a creature illustrated by Toriyama Sekien in his Konjaku Hyakki Shūi. It was meant to represent the spirit that appeared during the game Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, after the last story was told. [citation needed] The candles in the room during these meetings were often placed in blue-paper andon lamps in order to create an eerie atmosphere, hence this creature's name.
It appears as a human with a blue complexion and twin horns from its brow, and sharp teeth.[4]
Popular Culture
In the mobile game Onmyoji, Aoandon is a shikigami who loves storytelling.
