I imagine when Nurikabe gets knocked over he’s like a turtle trying to turn himself right side up

In reply to Frances McGregor. Thank you! I plan to make a second book eventually, but I have a lot more yokai to paint first. :)

I love your work! I hope the new yokai will be in a new book someday!

Thank you. I’m generally a fan of the older forms too, but in some cases they are so fantastic it’s no wonder later artists chose to tone it down a bit. This was a tough one to do because the old and the new looks for him are just so drastically different.

Whoa! I love how you combined the two depictions of nurikabe. To be honest, when I was writing nurikabe’s poem, I focused more on the Falkor-esque form.
