[Part. 4/6] Onmyoji (阴阳师)mythicalcharacters, drawn ukiyo-e style by 鬼笙 (find other parts here) Shikigami are supernatural beings in Japanese folklore. Shown here are characters:Kyonshii, called Jianshi in Chinese, are reanimated corpses mixing zombie/ vampire/ ghost features. Those pale blue creatures live by sucking qi from the living. They are usually depicted with a paper talisman (ofuda) hanging off their foreheads.Shown here are: Ani (elder brother), Imouto (little sister) andOtouto (little brother)Shiro and Kuro Mujou (litterally “white ghost” and “dark ghost”) are heavily inspired by the chinese Heibai Wuchang, psychopomps deities in charge of escorting souls to the underworld.
