Oki the Hero [Ôkami] 🌸

I did this fanart testing some brushes and trying to emulate (to an extend) the scroll drawings of the game. Okami is so dear to me. Was the first game that make me look for it’s concept art and inspired me to become a concept artist one day.Oki is one of my fav characters as well :)

Since the people of Yugoslavia were very much afraid of vampires in former times, there were numerous instances of frauds and tricks played by living persons who presented themselves as vampires. [11] During periods of hunger, vampire impersonators were frequently seen at water mills and granaries. Gangs of young people clothed as vampires vandalized the villages. More frequent were cases where men used a vampire cloak for love trysts with young women. There were even accounts of women who had children by "vampires." These women were visited by other men, in the guise of their "vampire" husbands, and the frightened villagers did not dare to interfere. Joakim Vujic in his travelogue of Serbia relates that in a village near Baja a vampire appeared around midnight, creating a great din and wearing a white shroud, to visit a young widow whose husband had recently died. The frightened people ran out of the house, except for the beautiful widow, who remained in her bed. The vampire stayed with her for an hour, after which he left with much clanking and rattling. This affair continued for three months, until a bold lad with his comrades managed to capture the vampire despite his most desperate resistance. He turned out to be a neighbor of the widow. An investigation revealed that the widow, together with the "vampire," had killed her husband so as to carry on their illicit love affair. Both were sentenced to death.

Okikurumi, an Ainu culture hero who goes by many names, Ae-oina-Kamuy, Ainurakkur, all of which signify his role as hero and a teacher of the human race. Many, and I mean many, stories (specifically Oina) tell of his many great adventures. From him fighting the deer Kamuy to invading hell itself. Several tribes have their own origin for the Kamuy, from him being the son of the disease Kunne-Kamuy parkoro-Kamuy, to him being the son of the thunder god Kanna-kamuy. In a blaze of passion Kanna-kamuy came down from Kamuy-kotan to meet with his love Chikisani-kamuy, the god of elm trees, however when they came together Kanna-kamuy accidentally struck Chikisani-kamuy with his powerful lightning body, causing a massive explosion and engulfing her body in flames. But found within her burning remains was the child Okikurumi, who was eventually adopted by the luminary couple Tokapcup-kamuy and Kunnecup-kamuy.

Okikurumi is the linchpin of the Ainu mythos, with many of their practices coming from his legends. Despite the systematic suppression and eradication of the Ainu and their culture, Okikurumi has remained extremely prevalent throughout Ainu culture. His role of divine teacher and his fame from being a culture hero comes together and forms a character who’s spirit never dies, even while facing discrimination.

I can’t believe with how long I’ve liked the game Okami I haven’t made a post about it!

Anyways I was thinking real hard about it sometime last week, and an idea formed in my head.

So in the game you meet Lika, little kid from the Oina tribe, and she’s got a mask on her face. (Makes sense, as do the other tribe members.) But she’s the only one with a non-animal based mask- she’s got this leaf.

Now I don’t remember where I found it, but her leaf is supposed a butterbur(?) leaf. I think that’s what it said, I’m 40% sure that’s the specific plant. Funnily enough, the beings poncles are based off of are associated with the leaves as well. Understandable, considering her family’s history with at one of them. I can remember that part, at least.

That, however, wasn’t what I was thinking of! It was how some things in the game had a dual connection with others. Like Oki and Waka; which I have mixed feelings towards, but that’s another topic for another day. Regardless, I was real focused on that leaf! I even thought to myself when I got it: “This seems like I’m reaching, but it also makes too much sense.”

The tanuki! Kemu’s mask is supposed to be a raccoon! I didn’t know if they had whole raccoons in Japan, but they have raccoon dogs! That’s what a tanuki is! In folklore they have leaves on their head, which is where some of their powers come from!

The tie-in was that both Kemu and Lika can do the Volcanic Incantation. Lika is also apparently more powerful of the two (at least at the point you meet them). She also wasn’t trained to wield said power, she just kinda existed with it? At least as far as I know, I don’t think they ever mentioned her being trained to begin with. They just said that she was able to do it.

I don’t think that’s what they were going for when making them, but it’s a pretty cool thought!

#okami hd #pardon my rambling #I got the game as a late birthday present last year #I almost have all the stray beads :) #kai’s race is going to be the death of me #I did the race on the coast already #I hated that too #I think the leaf thing is on her wiki?? #or the one exclusively about the Oina???? #Okami Lika #Okami Kemu

i wish i could read japanese in order to look up more stuff because to me the end arc of okami can be read as having an anti colonialism/imperialism message (ie. the final boss is an amalgamation of european technology, and the Root Of All Evil is a ship that has crashed into the land of kamui, ie ainu mosir/hokkaido, and its called the ark of yamato)

and im curious if any of this was intentional or whether this is simply coincidental

#*deep space noises* #like today i also found out that there is an ainu creation myth #that says that the ainu people were born of a union between a wolf kamuy and a goddess #which provides some cultural context as the why the oina can shapeshift into wolves #beyond my surface level assumption that they could do that because of racist stereotypes of indigenous people being more ‘wild’/‘animalistic #of course still not my place to say if that was an appropriate writing choice or not #and i have no idea if there were ainu writers or researchers on the okami team #but i still appreciate more knowledge and context

i don't know if i'm just reaching with my criticisms sometimes bc i certainly don't see similar sentiments echoed a lot but it could just be that i'm not looking in the right places. my most recent problem has been with okami (videogame) bc i've been thinking a lot about how capcom put a lot of imperialist imagery in their games & okami is chock full of that. the country it's set in being called nippon, the rising sun pattern appearing whenever you draw the sun brush technique, the yamato ark carrying the "heavenly people" down to earth (the main ethnic group in japan is yamato btw), the oina tribe being clearly inspired from an existing indigenous group & being associated with animals & overall very mystified. idk

#perth.txt #& i mean okami's been one of my favourite games ever since i was a kid. it's not like i WANT it to suck. however. #if i was any good at google searches & whatnot i'd def try to look into it there but i am supremely bad at finding what i'm looking for #i don't think the oina tribe are depicted in ways that are meant to be demeaning but they do feel dehumanised & exoticised #& you do get attacked out of nowhere by the main oina guy who is shown to be relatively unreasonable from the get go. #that's only my personal feelings on the matter though. i could be talking the hell out of my ass. i could be severely uninformed. #but considering it's capcom. yknow. maybe i'm not wrong to take some amount of issue there

Vaguely related to that last reblog, but does anyone happen to have links to any articles or reviews about Ōkami's Oina from an Ainu perspective? There doesn't seem to be much information on how Ainu people feel about the game and how their culture is used for it.
