Mythic Mail Letters From Japan book secrets: 👺Today’s Easter egg (super top secret hidden gem) is this illustrated postcard featuring the Bura-Bura, or haunted paper lantern. The characters that make his eyes and nose are called “henohenomoheji” using Japanese hiragana. It’s a little joke that these characters look like a face when arranged on paper. The eyes are “no”, the nose is “mo”. Not pictured are “he” for the eyebrows and mouth and “ji” for the outline of the face. ✨Link to the book in my bio✨ . #burabura #haunted #hauntedattraction #foxfire #kitsune #indiebooks #indiebook #mythicmail #mythicalcreatures #yokai #yokaiwatch #yokaiart #japan #traveljapan #japantravel #japanesefolklore #japanesemonster #snailmaillove #indiebookstore #indieauthors #indieauthorsofinstagram #supportindieauthors #mythology #japanesemythology #japaneseculture #mythical (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTfRhasJ8or/?utm_medium=tumblr

I am absolutely loving my new book project and the challenging creatures I am being pushed to draw. Can’t say I would draw a centipede of any sort on my own otherwise. ✨ Join my journey in the bio for behind the scenes goodies! 🧡 . #ursaink #centipede #japanesemonster #japanesemythology #mythicmail #omukade #maneater #japaneseculture #yokai #yokaiart #mythicalcreatures #mythicalcreature #mythologyart (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLr0yfAsmmx/?igshid=1rq5986xeth7o
