Greetings yokai fans!
Today I bring you the kenmun, a yokai from southern Japan which is a kappa/kijimunaa hybrid, with its own strange little twist.
Also, check out the attachment to this post. I think I mentioned last month that the reason I wanted to do this guy was because I found a bottle of “yokai shochu” in the discount liquor bin. So I attached a photo of the liquor, which is called “Ryugu” (i.e. the name of the Dragon king’s palace on the ocean floor) and features a kenmun on the label.
I hope everyone has received their handmade postcards by now. I sent out February’s printed postcards today, and I’m not sure how long it takes to arrive from Japan, but I hope you’ll be getting them quickly! I mistakenly ordered extra large postcards this time, so for the next few months you’ll be getting giant-sized postcards! Lucky!
Anyway, on to the kenmun:
