Thanks to my 1 admiring fan on mastodon, here is another painting of mine. This is based on this amazing piece of feebeejp's in the book Japanese Mythical Creatures. It is a #baku

"The baku is a strange holy beast that has the body of a bear, the head of an elephant, the eyes of a rhinoceros, the tail of an ox, and the legs of a tiger. Despite their monstrous appearance, baku are revered as powerful forces of good, and as one of the holy protectors of mankind.

Baku watch over humans and act as guardian spirits. They feed on the dreams of humans – specifically bad dreams. Evil spirits and yokai fear baku and flee from them, avoiding areas inhabited by them. Therefore, health and good luck follow a baku wherever it goes." - Myths and Folklore Wiki

This one I did with #gouache. #art #painting #japanesemythology

RT @bryandaniellowe
This 2019 picture book of the Kojiki by Kazumi Wilds portrays Izanagi with the face of the Buddhist deity Gigeiten. This is a return to a view dominant for much of Japanese history, which saw Buddhism and Shinto not as separate but closely intertwined. #JapaneseMythology

Having fun trying to figure out which story to translate for patrons this month. I think I'm leaning toward an Okinawan tale.

In #JapaneseMythology Amaterasu is goddess of the sun. Her name means 'great divinity illuminating heaven' & she brings light to the world. As queen of all the kami, she is seen as an embodiment of both the sun and Japan itself. In one myth she hid in a cave after fighting with her brother Susanoo which plunged the world into darkness. Fortunately she was lured out by some clever thinking & the dancing of Uzume & light returned to the world.
