Yōkai Masks Trading Card Portrait Illustrations
Yōkai are mysterious spirits and beings recognized throughout Japanese folklore and legend. During special festivities individuals often dorn masks representing the most well-known of the spirits. This illustration series represents 3 of the most popular spirits - the Kitsune, Tengu, and Oni. Each is represented by key colors and well-recognized features, from the Oni's large fangs and horns, to the kitsunes fox-like ears and many tails. Their backgrounds also feature patterns and designs inspired by Japanese art and textiles to further pay homage to their origins.
