Sutetchi sa reta tamashī (ステッチされた魂)

The 'Stitched Soul'
A Stitched Soul is the result of the Demon Dollmaker, Tanigawa Gesshin. Tanigawa would murder individuals in the remote regions of the Tōhoku region of Japan during the mid 1700s, and would use dark magic to place their souls into his vessels he had created. This macabre display of dolls and toys were kept in his home, until he died around 1801. Before dying, Tanigawa placed his soul into his final creation, a large 50cm crudely made doll that was found in the woods near the city of Hachinohe.

The Dolls themselves cannot talk properly, instead using screams and wailing moans of agony and anguish to express themselves. The soul is trapped inside forever even if the vessel is destroyed, the soul remains to wander.

Tanigawa's personal vessel, known affectionately as Orimitsu, was the only recovered doll that has the ability to form broken sentences and even write and draw under observation, however all dolls recovered are extremely hostile and will shred anyone who comes close.
