Outside of these uses, the word ""tsukumogami" does not appear anywhere in extant literature of the time, and so historical usage of the term itself has not been handed down in detail. The concept, however, does appear elsewhere. In collections such as the "Konjaku Monogatarishū", there are tales that could be seen to be about objects having a spirit, and in the "emakimono" "Bakemono Zōshi", there are tales of a "chōshi" (a sake serving-pot), a scarecrow, and other objects turning into monsters, but the word "tsukumogami"" itself does not appear.
