Since you voted on it, I'll continue blogging about yokai, at least for the next ten weeks. I plan on doing things a little differently with these, art-wise, so here's the first of my Yokai masterpiece series*.
___
Wanyudo is one of the older yokai, with a reported sighting over a thousand years ago. It has the appearance of an angry, bald man's head in the center of a flaming wheel. His arrival usually spells disaster, as he will roll over anyone who gets in his way, ripping them to pieces. Even to look upon wanyudo brings misfortune.

*"Masterpiece" is a relative term, and only applies to the artwork, not the article.

How does he 'rip' people to pieces if he rolls over them... I bet he probably bites.

ReplyDeleteHe looks just like this in Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro (the live-action movie).
Word: spersio
Sounds like a car name.
