Greetings yokai fans!
I made a last-minute decision to title this piece Yatagarasu instead of kin’u, as I have been calling in. It’s not a big difference, but mostly this is because the bird is better known as Yatagarasu in Japan. You can still call it kin’u, or sansokuu as you like. 😉
I particularly like this painting, but that’s probably just because I am a bird lover. Enjoy the story below!
