Yogen No Torii -よげんのとり- [Yokai]

•About this yokai•

yogen no Tori  - よげんのとり

Summer of 1858, Shirayama, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. There was yet another cholera outbreak. This yokai was recorded as appearing the year before, it gave a prophecy - it said: “Around August or September of next year, a disaster will occur, killing 90% of the world’s population! Those who gaze upon my image morning and night and believe in me will be spared from this suffering!” – like Amabie, its message was re-printed along with a somewhat crude (but cute) illustration and kept as a good luck charm. hopefully my stickers have a similar effect!
