japanese mythology

High on the peaks of Mount Kurama, the Tengu guard the sacred forests. Witness their martial arts practice and their judgment of travelers.

In the shadow of a Japanese castle, a beautiful woman plays a biwa. But do not be fooled. The Spider Woman weaves a web of seduction and death.

The rivers of Japan hide a creature both polite and deadly. Observe the Kappa as it tends to its head-dish and challenges travelers.

Amidst the lanterns and laughter of the Matsuri, a nine-tailed spirit walks among us. A study in duality, disguise, and fried tofu.
