Jorogumo, the Japanese half human, half spider yokai, served as the inspiration for this beautiful and spooky goat commission!
The stark contrast in colors and the great many stripes as seen on a real life joro spider turned out very striking!
✨Also a reminder that our first ever pin Kickstarter Pride Demons 🏳️🌈 in now LIVE! ✨

Eerily beautiful modern nihonga paintings by Matsuura Shiori (she also does a lot of bijin-styled art, some hinting at wlw!). For her take on Japanese monsters, the pieces shown here are:
One of the most beautiful jorougumo depiction I’ve ever seen (the tangled butterflies in her spiderweb-hair <3)
A banquet going amok because of mischievious rokurokubi and nopperabou, and their tsukumogami (animated objects) suite
A falsely serene Otsuyu from the Peony lantern ghost story
Crokery tsukumogami and a very curious investigating cat
Make-up tsukumogami and sleeping white cat (maybe a bakeneko as hinted in the mirror)

Jorōgumo
(Japanese Kanji: 絡新婦, Hiragana:じょろうぐも) is a type of Yōkai, a creature, ghost or goblin of Japanese folklore. It can shapeshift into a beautiful woman, so the kanji for its actual meaning is 女郎蜘蛛 or "woman-spider", and to write it instead as 絡新婦 ("entangling newlywed woman") is ajukujikun pronunciation of the kanji. In Toriyama Sekien's Gazu Hyakki Yagyō, it is depicted as a spider woman manipulating small fire-breathing spiders.
Jorōgumo can also refer to some species of spiders, such as the Nephila and Argiopespiders. Japanese-speaking entomologists use the katakana form of Jorōgumo (ジョロウグモ) to refer, exclusively, to the spider species Nephila clavata.

My horrific myths series! Realized I didn't have a compiled post of them all together yet that wasn't a sale announcement. I'll still link my etsy though.
Look at them. Like them, even. I really enjoyed making this series and I'm proud of how these came out.
