In #JapaneseFolklore there is a giant crab #yokai known as kanibozu. These creatures take on the form of priests and move into empty temples. If a new priest arrives to lead the temple the kanibozu demands they answer a riddle & if they can't solve it, they get eaten. #MythologyMonday 🎨Matthew Meyer

In #JapaneseFolklore, there is a #yokai known as tatarimokke, which translates as cursed infant. Tatarimokke appear just like an ordinary owl but in fact they are the spirit of a dead baby or young child. They remain close to the home they lived in when alive... #OwlishMonday #MythologyMonday 1/4

In East Asia it was believed the mystical crane could live for 1000 years, which really just meant a very long time. It came to be seen as a symbol of longevity, good fortune and happiness. #MythologyMonday #JapaneseArt #ukiyoe 🎨 'Cranes Flying over Waves' - Utagawa Hiroshige, 1858.

In #JapaneseFolklore there is a famous folktale called 'Bunbuku Chagama' which is about a tanuki who shapeshifts into a tea kettle. It then periodically sprouts legs, a tail and a head and proceeds to dance around before returning to its regular kettle form. #MythologyMonday #yokai 1/2
