A house spirit from Japanese folklore. By nature and appearance, he is a child of 5-6 years old. He can turn over pillows or cause sounds similar to music heard from rooms that no one uses, etc. Sometimes he leaves small footprints in the ashes.

According to beliefs, this spirit can be found in large old houses that are maintained in good condition. Residents of the house in which dzashiki-varasi lives are lucky, but if the spirit leaves the house for some reason, then it will soon fall into decay. To attract and retain a dzashiki-varasi in the house, you need to appreciate and take care of him, but too much attention can scare him away.
