The story takes place during the Edo period of Japan, in the Fukagawa neighborhood of the old capital. As the area is prone to fires and floods, residents rent daily things such as pots, clothes or futons instead of buying them so they do not have to carry anything if they need to flee in a dangerous situation. Obeni and Seiji, older brother and younger sister, run a tool rental shop called Izumoya. Among their inventory they have a very peculiar product: tsukumogami, objects that over the years have acquired their own spirit. Brothers often talk to these spirits and lend them to those who may be useful when they rent objects. The fame of the brothers makes other tsukumogami go to the place.
Kadokawa published the original novel in 2007, premiered in 2013 its sequel Tsukumogami, Asobo yo.
