Day 23 – Yokai

To quote M. Lucero –

“To define yōkai is like trying to reach out and grasp one: a slippery, ephemeral experience. They can be anything from ghosts to ogres, animal tricksters and shapeshifters, monsters to transformed humans, deities to diseases, even inanimate objects come to life. The folklore of yōkai is ancient, found in folktales and literature, in pop culture and old scrolls and woodblock prints. ”

Hard to pick a type of Yokai to go with in the end I went with what I think I know and did a very simplified Oni, because I figured most folks would be drawing foxes or haunted objects.
