Revenge! Behold, Utagawa Kuniyoshi's evergreen woodcut triptych, "The Witch Princess Takiyasha Evokes the Skeleton [of Her Father]" (1844), reproduced from staff favorite new release, 'Yokai: The Ancient Prints of Japanese Monsters,' published by @skiraeditore⁠ ⁠ @paolo_linetti writes: "For Catholicism revenge is a vile sentiment, more deplorable than any wrong suffered. Those who consider it or wish for it are guilty of not having turned the other cheek. In Japan, on the other hand, it is an action necessary to restore an equilibrium that transforms the injustice into fairness. Holding a grudge is the detonator that chains the souls of innocent victims, transforming them into phantasms and almost always from victims into executioners.”⁠ ⁠ Read more about the book via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ #kuniyoshi #witchprincesstakiyasha #yokai #japanesemonster #japanesemonsters #revenge https://www.instagram.com/p/Co-Jm7TOPyi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another Post-it commission. This one is Sukimamori, mascot created by Japan West Railway Company to teach train safety. He’s a giant centipede like creature that lives in the gap between the train and platform and yells at kids for running or not minding the gap. Despite what you might’ve heard elsewhere, he doesn’t eat kids. If you’d like your own post-it commission, it’s just $3 on my ko-fi Ko-fi.com/Cattype Please give me coin. #sukimamori #monster #japanesemonster #psa #postitnoteart https://www.instagram.com/p/CZsu2P_LRUA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today's #ayokaiaday is Okiku Mushi! A yokai inspired by the chrysalis of the Chinese windmill butterfly which can be found in wells and resembles a bound woman. A fact that drew comparisons to the legendary ghost Okiku. I love this sketch. I’ve started making a finished version. I’ve also had an outline for a comic strip she’s in for a while and I need to solidify her design plus two other yokai before I can draw that. #okikumushi ＃お菊虫　#yokai #japanesemonster #folklore #instaart #sketch https://www.instagram.com/p/CVra5-SLYJw/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today's #ayokaiaday is Ippon Datara! A one-eyed, one-legged little dude that happens to be a skilled blacksmith. Sometimes said to be red and green. #ippondatara #yokai #japanesemonster #watercolor or possibly #gouache I dunno it’s been a long time since I made this thing #instaart #monster #painting #oneeyedmonster ＃妖怪 https://www.instagram.com/p/CVlwiyKv6nM/?utm_medium=tumblr

[Yesterday’s] #ayokaiaday is Ittanmomen! A long cloth that floats about as if caught in the wind until it hits you in the face and strangles you to death. Possibly a tsukumogami, possibly a fox or tanuki playing a horrible trick. #ittanmomen #yokai #japanesemonster #folklore #instaart #procreate https://www.instagram.com/p/CVlnqwAPMTs/?utm_medium=tumblr
