Femme-araignée du folklore japonais 🕷️👘
Ces créatures ne sont pas seulement faites pour effrayer : elles symbolisent aussi l’équilibre entre les humains et la nature.
Malicieuses, rusées, parfois sages et protectrices, elles changent de rôle d’un récit à l’autre, toujours enveloppées de mystère et de pouvoir.
Difficile de les oublier une fois qu’on les a croisées… même en image.

A gymnastic pose drawing art trade for Sweetpea-sky from Bluesky

I did an art trade with Sweetpea-sky from Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/sweetpea-sky.bsky.social which we exchanged poses we found. I wanted to try shading with hatches with my original character, Nyoko Makino, and seeing this is a decent first step.

Yuki onna is a fearful #yokai appearing on snowy winter nights. She glides across the snow with her blue lips and transparent skin. Her icy gaze can be deadly and she will suck the life force out of you and leave you to die in the snow. #FolkyFriday #JapaneseFolklore 🎨Sawaki Suushi

A ghostly woman in white drifts in the snow, she fades away indicating her lack of feet.

In #JapaneseFolklore there is a belief that when animals and birds reach advanced age they can transform into #yokai. Aosagibi (blue heron fire) is a phenomenon that occurs when an elderly night heron develops supernatural qualities. Over time the heron's feathers begin to... #LegendaryWednesday 1/6

A blue heron sits on the branch of a tree emitting a blue glow.

It is said they appear during disasters, especially if many suffer or die or if the spirits of the dead haven't been pacified. The spirits become vengeful ghosts in the form of itsumade. Their cries ask how long the suffering will go unnoticed. 🎨Toriyama Sekien #yokai 2/2

For #LegendaryWednesday's bird theme, dodomeki are not actually a bird but rather a #yokai appearing as a woman whose arms are covered in bird's eyes.

Yatagarasu is a three-legged crow and messenger of the kami (gods). Originally in Japan there was no mention of Yatagarasu having three legs, but over time this myth was blended with the Chinese myth of the three-legged sun crow. #LegendaryWednesday #yokai #JapaneseFolklore

One of the most well-known #yokai in Japan are tengu. They resemble humans with bird-like features. #LegendaryWednesday #JapaneseFolklore bsky.app/profile/curi...
