⸺ YÕKAI ⸺

Japan didn't invent monsters to scare you

They invented them to describe you

For over a thousand years, Japan gave names and faces to the parts of human nature nobody wanted to say out loud.

1. のっぺらぼう

Noppera-bõ - The Faceless One

Why you can’t always trust a familiar face.

2. 鬼

Oni - The Rage That Consumes

How rage quietly consumes the person underneath it.

3. 轆轤首

Rokurokubi - The Long-Necked Woman

The debts we carry that were never ours to begin with.
