Description
Oni - Yokozuna. Oni are incredibly strong and fearsome to look upon. Wielding massive kanabo, war clubs, and the immense strength, they are difficult to contend with. Typically hostile to both Human and other Yokai alike, only the strongest could ever sway one to fight with them.

Oni are pretty iconic when it comes to Japanese mythology so I couldn’t leave them out of this series. Aside from the ropes another common theme you’ll see in this series is the use of shide, the zig zag papers, and ofuda, the small paper seals with text on them. These are common around Shinto shrines and are used in various rituals. In this series, I wanted them to show that the Yokai was in the service of an Onmyouji and, that it was blessed and purified in order to serve.

Help support my work by purchasing the art book on my gumroad (gumroad.com/masterchew#KHQupc ) or sharing my work. I love creating new ideas and I hope my art inspires you in some way. Big ups to my DeviantArt followers too btw. I've had this account longer than my facebook account so thanks for sticking around!
