She is often depicted as a young woman with long, flowing hair and a kind smile. She wears a white kimono and a pink obi. She carries a bamboo basket filled with food and toys for the children she helps.
Hottokekki is said to live in the mountains or in the forest. She is often seen near rivers or streams, where she likes to play with the children who come to visit her. She is also said to be able to fly, and she often uses her magic to help the children she meets.
One of the most famous stories about Hottokekki tells of a young boy who was lost in the forest. The boy was scared and alone, but he eventually found his way to Hottokekki's home. Hottokekki took care of the boy and gave him food and a place to sleep. The next day, she helped the boy find his way home. The boy was so grateful to Hottokekki for her help, and he promised to always remember her kindness.
