This sad tale is one of a noble rescue but also what time at sea can do to a man; its power to grant riches and take away just as easily.

Umeko Ando
Japanese folk singer in North Japan
This Ainu culture is important on the continent of Hokkaido, and its past history and culture are somewhat similar to that of Sámi folklore on music in the peninsula.
It is characterized with using a stringed instrument 🪕sounds of like a harp

In #JapaneseFolklore akaname is a #yokai often described as a small, child-like creature with a long tongue that's said to lick the grime and filth found in bathrooms. Aka means filth but is also a synonym for red and in many cases akaname is said to have...

Summer in Kawagoe. A small area of Saitama that looks like an Edo period city. One of the best places for enjoining the environment of old Japan!

When you finally get to meet someone you’ve only ever read about.

Working on a new cover for my refreshed Folk Remedy pitch! Still WIP, I think it’s getting close but I have the last 10-15% shine still to go.
I wanted to make a cover that instantly gives you the vibe of what I’m going for within the story, which is easier said than done! In the sketch they were originally going to be in front of a shelf of figurines, but I liked the idea of doing shadows on a shoji screen.

Another #FolkRemedyComic character! Peach!
Peach is arguably the fan favourite of Folk Remedy and is the most chaotic creature. I love her very much, she some of the most fun to write and draw because of her unhinged energy.
Important Peach facts:
- Is a Tanuki
- Is a lesbian
- Is a thief/criminal
- Is either drunk or aiming to get drunk
- Claims to have a very hot fiancé, you just haven’t met her yet
- Is after your girl

Time for more #FolkRemedyComic characters!
This is Ember, a yokai Maple releases from a seal after 300-ish years of being trapped in a lantern.
Ember is a huge flirt and honestly a bit mean. They come across as very self-interested without caring too much about those around them.
Their true motives remain murky from Maple. As they spend time together, Maple realises there’s more to this yokai than just their flashy surface.

I’ve been taking it slow with comic work through most of November, but I’m feeling the spark return, so I’m looking forward to making some good progress on my Folk Remedy sample!
I’ve re-shaped it quite a lot since it was last on submission. It has a revamped and streamlined plot, a new approach to colour and refined character designs.

@authortoburnett I am just about to start writing my first book, a non-fiction intro to #JapaneseFolklore.
A couple of sketches I liked of Maple meeting some #yokai. A #rokurokubi and a #kappa. I might finish these up at some point. #comics #FolkRemedyComic #JapaneseFolklore

Nekomata, copied from Toriyama Sekien’s illustration. I love nekomata because if a cat gets old enough or big enough or fat enough, its tail will split and it will become a nekomata.
Nekomata have powers and can cause all kinds of mischief, including shape shifting and playing pranks on humans.

#art I’ve wanted to do some redraws of Toriyama Sekien’s #yokai for a while, and I’m glad my current project has given me an excuse to do so. I’m especially pleased with how the Kappa turned out (froggy-like friend on the left).
Yokai are so fun, mysterious, silly, angry, quirky and sad. There’s endless texture in exploring them and their role throughout history within Japanese society. I love #Japanesefolklore!
Kia Ora, an #introduction, I guess. I’m Jem, I’m mixed Japanese/Pākehā and am a comic artist/writer/creator/illustrator person. I also work in public sector comms by day.
I’m a big fan of #Japanesefolklore, especially #yokai. I play #dnd and video games. I have ADHD, so I’m prone to adding or dropping new hyperfixations on a whim.
I don’t quite know what sort of stuff I’ll be sharing via Mastodon yet, but I’m happy to be here and see how I find it. Nice to meet you!
