A Menreiki (面霊気) is a type of youkai in Japanese folklore, composed of Gigaku masks.

Menreiki in Touhou

In the Touhou Project Menreiki's are more akin to a Tsukumogami of a mask. There isn't much information on their powers or ways to defeat them, though at the same time there's nothing listing exceptional strengths. The only such example in Gensokyo is Hata no Kokoro, a tsukumogami of a set of masks Toyosatomimi no Miko made in the past. Being recently born there isn't much known about her beyond what's revealed in Hopeless Masquerade. Her masks at first were her way of expression and possessing emotions and if she miss one, there's the risk of the others going out of control. She appears innately skillful in various Noh plays.
