These photos are loosely based off the movie "Kakurenbo," a short animated Japanese film I watched a few years ago. A child is on the look for his sister who goes missing after playing the game "otokoyo" (aka Man Hunt). He and his friends decide to go into the depths of an abandoned and demon-infested city and play the game of otokoyo in hopes of retrieving her.
To participate you must wear a kitsune (fox) mask and evade pursuing demons; if you get caught you become spirited away. The loser's kitsune mask turns into an "oni" mask, and they become a yukai (demon). Behind-the-scenes & full story: Blog
