Japan's Weird Monster Culture

in japan, if you happen to have someone with a mask on your head, and an old man throws a soybeans at it, don't think you've met a criminal.

this is a soy-god ceremony for the safety of the security guard.

in japan, legends of monsters are varied, diverse and extend throughout japanese history.

it can be said that the culture of monsters is an important component of japanese culture.

the image of the monster has changed over time and over time.

japanese folk have a lot of legends about the monster, which is probably related to the psychologically mysterious tendencies of the japanese in the island.

the japanese, who like the real ones, divide the demons into large books, such as japanese monsters and japanese monsters, and with fine illustrations, visible in the library.

old people from all over the country speak of old-fashioned leprechauns, even more zinjindo.

the demons were first born out of awe of nature and animals, and people call themselves all monsters who are invisible, untouchable and beyond their control.

japan is a water-cultural country, so many legends have to do with water, such as mrs.

beans, a leprechaun who uses sifts to fish people in the water; the bridge girl, a ghost who feeds herself out of the water; and the river child, who is active in the river, whose prototype is probably a fierce freshwater crocodile.

similarly, japan is also a mountainous country, so there are many demons living in the mountains.

snow women, for example, are said to be made of women who have been abandoned by their lovers in the mountains, so that they are often lured to the mountains, and those who flirt with them will freeze to death.

thus, in the original folk stories, demons tend to pose horror and fear.

it is reported that the ancient japanese government has established a special wizard, the sun-yangian, because of the number of ghosts.

at the height of the era of peace, when the country ' s civil society was in turmoil and discomfort and the ruling class had no solution, problems were attributed to the spirits.

as a result, people live with caution, fearing that certain taboos will lead to ghost revenge.

at that time, the power of the yin-yang teacher was great, and the emperor and the great generals were subjected to interference in their daily lives, and the taboos in japanese culture today were largely left behind.

by the time of the edo era, the commercial handicrafts had flourished and people did not have to rely on god alone to eat.

and so the demons turned and became elves living in various objects.

the most well-known is the night of the ghosts, which depicts old things such as biwako, umbrellas, carpfish, pots and so on, which turn into all kinds of demons coming out in the middle of the night because they want to be abandoned.

the painting was hailed as a japanese ogre's nostril.

with the rapid development of post-war japan, the image of japanese monsters has become lovely and human.

moo shui moo was the first person in the japanese ghost caricature, and at a time when he created a series of ghost taro, the toys, games, decorations and costumes associated with kitaro were blooming, calling them one of japan's three cartoons.

zerothe post-terror cartoons were followed by a number of specialized magazines.

like the queen of horrible cartoons, mukanako, who takes the world of children as the stage for the creation of a series of horror works on such topics as folklore, fairy tales, urban stories, etc.

her comic book, “funny, cute, horrible”, has been evaluated by many japanese.

and these past few years, the animation of miyazaki, has brought to the world the heat of japanese demon culture.
