Samhain is the first month of the Irish calendar, and the beginning of the dark half of the year. In Gaelic folklore it is this time the Cailleach lays out her cloak and walks with her frosty hammer, covering the land in ever-increasing white.

Kouka doesn't quite understand human folklore yet, so he threw a bunch of things from different stuff together for his costume.
Happy Halloween!
WILD HUNT In Celtic & Germanic folklore a furious bunch of #ghosts of the restless dead, which ride through the sky on their phantom horses accompanied by spectral hounds, shrieking & making wild noises; reported as late as 1940 in England on All Hallow's Eve #Gothtober

Wanted to do something Halloween for Birdie

MASK : KAPPA 河童 "river-child"
6th entry of the "hantu"/ghost series.
"a reptiloid kami with similarities to yōkai found in traditional Japanese folklore
often accused of assaulting humans in water and removing a mythical organ called the shirikodama from their victim's anus."
Some of the many wonderful shapeshifting "monsters" from Japanese folklore featured on a painted scroll known as the Bakemono zukushi (18th or 19th century). See more here of its ghoulish delights here: https://t.co/RMpIPPH5iu
