A good representation can be seen from The British Museum with the Sasabonsam figure they have in their collection. It is carved out of wood and estimated to have been made in 1935. In mythology, it is usually portrayed as an archetypical ogre; according to A Dictionary of World Mythology: ...the hairy Sasabonsam has large blood-shot eyes, long legs, and feet pointing both ways. Its favourite trick is to sit on the high branches of a tree and dangle its legs so as to entangle the unwary hunter. Both the ogre and vampire versions have iron teeth. (en)

Ein Asanbosam unterscheide sich in seinem Aussehen kaum von normalen Menschen. Es soll bei ihnen Männer, Frauen und Kinder geben, die alle Zähne aus Eisen, Beine mit hakenartigen Fortsätzen und sechs Arme haben. Sie sollen im Urwald hausen, in den Ästen baumeln und jeden anfallen, der das Unglück hat, an ihrem Baum vorbeizukommen. (de)
