Demon Slayer Japanese Folklore Pt. 1
These chibi art of Demon Slayer characters as Japanese folklore figures exist and I’m currently obsessed with Demon Slayer and dug up which youkai they were dressing up as.
🎴 🎋 ⚡ 🐗
Tanjiro - Tengu
Many say they look like saintly priests with their large nose, red skin and bird wings. Sometimes they carry a Buddhist staff and a magical wind fan. Their fit of the century consists of pom poms and hard to life geta sandals.
Nezuko - Zashiki Warashi
Child youkai of 5-15 years old, very baby. Lives in your house and plays with your kids. Old people and barren couples tend to take care of them too. Just like real child, but youkai.
Zennitsu - Raijin
“Thunder God” Beats their taiko drums on top of clouds creating thunder sounds. Kinda like sudden ASMR. Worshipped in shrines as sudden ASMR god.
Inoksuke - Gashadokuro
One big dead skeleton made of a gazillion smaller dead skeletons. Their flesh rotted away but the bitterness didn’t, so now they’re here for the humans. Mostly in the country side though.
