Ōmagatoki

Ōmagatoki (逢魔時), also known as Twilight or The Hour of Meeting Demons, is a time when people would hide indoors with their children as unnumbered phantoms would appear to prowl the streets outside.

This period of time is depicted in the Konjaku Gazu Zoku Hyakki, a compilation of Yōkai, by Toriyama Sekien.¹
