I wish you all a Happy New Year as we’re leaving Tiger for Rabbit (Japan celebrations are a bit early, Lunar year will officially begin on January 22). 2022 was once again pure chaos, I don’t have much hope for a quieter 2023, but let’s hold on together!!!

Moon Rabbit sanctuary, art by Miki Katoh depicting in the background the roof of Tsukunomiya-jinja.

This Shinto shrine is famous for having komausagi (guardians rabbits) instead of the usual komainu (guardian dog/lion):

IS THAT A STONE LION IN YOUR HEADER???? SLAYYYYY

YESSSSSSSSSS. AAA thank you Ceru. Jasper's design/lore was based on stone lion dog statues/komainu yokai. :3 In the story, he is a disgraced lion dog guardian who has been semi-exlied from his home. They are called "Beasties" in my story and most are based on animals but, can be lots of types of mythological creatures with varying powers! (Very similar to yokai.)

I’m entering an art contest at the Japan Meeting of Furries art convention. I am very excited but this is my first furry convention so I don’t know what to expect. Any tips?

Its a komainu get-together:3! idk if anyone's ever done this but I had the idea that "hey, touhou and yokai watch both have youkai and some youkai from both franchises share the same species, what if they met and hung out?:O"and here we are, I started with komasan and aunn sharing an ice cream near their typical komainu posts cuz they're my favorite youkai but i'll move on to others as the series progresses, this should be fun:D.I also tried 5 point perspective with this drawing again! so I hope ya'll like it and what not and that I did a good job toodles!

Aunn belongs to team shanghai alice/ zun/ touhou and komasan belongs to team 5/ yo-kai watch they are not my characters-o-
