Wara ningyô (straw doll) kept at Tono Museum.

Those effigies were once hung on ropes (michikiri) by roadsides and village entrances to ward off evil spirits bringing pestilence (疫病神 yakubyôgami). They were sometimes accessorized, like this one bearing a daishô (katana set) and a fearsome (oni?) face mask.

Waraningyô are also a staple of folk magic alike voodoo dolls, especially those related to eerie uchi no toki mairi ("Ox-hour shrine visits", ie witching hour).

I was working on a different piece and added this to my references without realizing it was AI generated, so in my disappointment I decided to redraw him into the nekomata alebrije witch I thought he was.

#‘how does a Japanese creature like a nekomata end up with their magical focus being the Mexican folk art creature alebrije?’#y’know how there where samurai in Mexico City starting in the 1600s?#and how some versions of nekomata start as regular cats that just so old that their tails split like kitsune?#yeah well sometimes a Japanese ship cat has kittens in Mexico City and they get a weird mix of magic #honeslty I kinda wanna draw more of this guy because he’s cool but god I need to simplify his design then #my art #my ocs #stealing from ai
