Lantern
Another yokai - this one the classic lantern ghost - Chōchin'obake - sadly there are no known stories about them, they just appear in Japanese pictures starting in the 1800s.

Day 13: Yokai

Chōchin'obake (提灯お化け) or Lantern Ghost, is my chosen Yōkai this year! Always a bit scary linocutting Japanese lettering, always scared it will end up saying something it shouldn’t but think I got it right this time. And thought it deserved to be in a lovely gold ink on black paper.

Curious: wondering if I'll lose arachnophobes as potential readers with my upcoming fantasy novel about a jorogumo (spider-bodied woman) or if that will be non-issue. I'd appreciate your thoughts on whether you'd be cool reading a book (not necessarily mine, just as a general picture) with a spider-bodied heroine?

In #MonsterPoll 3: Seductive edition, Incubi got out-seduced by Succubi, who were partied off the field by Satyrs. The satyrs were then all then lured into the ocean by Sirens, and ... well, you can decide what happened to them.

🏊‍♀️ 🏆

The next showdown is between hybrid creatures: humans combined with animals.

Who will take the prize in MonsterPoll 4?

Though it was done some time ago and not for this #Oddtober challenge, I’d like to share an illustration I made of a #jorōgumo for a t-shirt. She’s my personal favorite among the #yokai menagerie 👹

According to Japanese folklore, the jorōgumo can appear as either a beauty or a beast. Upon reaching 400 years of age, these spiders grow to a gigantic size and gain the ability to shapeshift into beautiful women, which they use to lure lovestruck men into becoming their dinner.
