Scuttling in the darkness is an upright sandal, a single eye and a lolling tongue protruding from a mouth in its sole. Tiny legs propel it, and it waves its tiny arms in the air.

Bake-zori are animate objects formed from neglected, worn-out and old sandals. They are most frequently found in pairs, but will gather into enormous packs if able. Although bake-zori are practically harmless, they are a nuisance – houses that a bake-zori haunts are liable to experience minor acts of vandalism, and their raucous choruses are most likely to be heard in the middle of the night. More malevolent tsukumogami may use the dim-witted bake-zori as a distraction for their own activities.
