The shape-shifter. From Yokai Attack!:
No discussion of the tanuki would be complete without a mention of their extraordinary testicles. Totally flexible, extensible, and mobile, they are a potent tool in the Tanuki's bag of shape-shifting tricks. Tanuki use their testicles as makeshift raincoats and drums, weapons and even as a disguise to impersonate other creatures and yokai (demons, spirits). Some accounts claim they can be extended into a sheet some eight tatami mats in size - more than 130 square feet (12 square meters). That's a whole lot of scrotum.
In fact, there is even a famous children's rhyme (set, incongruously enough to the tune of the Baptist hymn "Shall We Gather at the River?") that goes:
Tan Tan Tanuki
no kintama wa
Kaze mo nai no ni,
Bura Bura
(The Tanuki's testicles
swing-swing even
without any breeze).
Tanuki, despite being shape-shifters and mischievous, are considered good luck.
He likes good and rich food, too. You can tell by that roly-poly belly.
It does look odd on an avatar of death.

(Ink on paper, mounted on wood, 2008)
Here are my Yokai drawings mounted on wood stained with acrylics and coffee.
Baku are Japanese supernatural beings that devour dreams and nightmares. They have a long history in Japanese folklore and art, and more recently have appeared in Japanese anime and manga. The Japanese term "baku" has two current meanings, referring to both the traditional dream-devouring creature and to the zoological tapir (e.g., the Malaysian tapir). The traditional Japanese nightmare-devouring baku originates in Chinese folklore and was familiar in Japan as early as the Muromachi period (14th-15th century).
Here are my pieces for the Little Monsters show, Million Fishes Gallery, Oct. 31. 2010 in San Franciso. I used mini-munnys, super sculpey, magic sculpt, acrylic sheets, fabric, wood and painted with acrylics.
