Amabiko (spelt in various ways) began appearing from around 1843, predominantly in Japan's far south (though an amabiko 海彦 'sea prince' appeared in Echigo province in 1844).
There are only a few physical descriptions of the creatures, and it is unclear if they are related.

It's thought that Amabie was an 'Amabiko' (アマビコ, 海彦, 尼彦, 天日子, 天彦, あま彦), a group of prophesying creatures that offered protection when their images were drawn and displayed.
There are 9 accounts of Amabiko sightings, all in Kyūshū (九州).For some Amabie, with her power to repel disease, is considered more deity than yōkai.
In Western folktales creatures from the sea were often considered to have the gift of foresight. -

CW: bruises
For someone who battles vengeful ghosts on a daily basis, Thorn is no stranger to injuries and bruises. Fortunately, her wife, Kozi, is a healer, so Thorn can visit her wife's onsen anytime see needs medical attention and Konzi will heal her wounds.

Hey! I'm here on Mastodon.art now! I'm a little apprehensive about making an introduction post so I'm start off this account by filling up my media tap. (I want people to be impressed when they find me after all)
Let's start by blessing the timeline with some #amabie. -

@curiousordinary @folklore thank you! I only found out about Amabie during COVID, when it started up popping up everywhere in Japan. They have plushies, toys, etc. now too. 🤓🥳

Want more on #Amabie and #Japan? Have a look at the article I published in 2022 where I try to dig deeper into a possible theoretical interpretation of #Amabie as a #chimera and a #chronotope. Why did this cute #monster attract so much interest during the #COVID19 #pandemic? Is the mechanism of #yōkai working in other cases for #disaster communication? And what does #Amabie have in common with the #plaguedoctor ? #openaccess and download at Shima journal @anthropology https://www.shimajournal.org/article/10.21463/shima.163

My first #Amabie article in 2020 focused on historical connections to the production of woodblock prints in #Edo #Japan, how the return of #Amabie during #covid19 gathered momentum from social media. I started working on it in May by first painting my ow interpretation of the #mermaid -like creature. My watercolour opens the article.

Hi! A short #introduction: research on parallel tracks of medical #anthropology plus interdisciplinary study of #disasters.
#embodiment #ritual #gender #midwifery #tsunami #DVI #governmentality #biopolitics #necropolitics #demography #volcanoes #risk
Recent focus during the #covid19 #pandemic via #art and #netnography on the #Amabie phenomenon in #Japan and globally. Academia needs to take #creativity seriously.
Previous roots in classic music and fine arts.

#Amabie - the anti-Nurgle.
"Around the world, solidarity in the face of the coronavirus is taking many forms. In Japan, that form has three legs, a beak, scaly skin and floor-length hair. Meet Amabie, the 19th century half-fish, half-human that's resurfaced to keep people safe."

I've seen a lot of Amabie art and decided to join in too and make a sketch with flat colors.
