Here we go! The first little sketch in my Nyokai series, which is Neko (cat) + Yokai (Japanese monsters of traditional folklore). Here, two little kittens caught in the rain are rescued by a couple of Karakasa who were out for a stroll. And while his girlfriend keeps them dry, the boy tries to ease the younger kitten's fears.

Wanna learn more about traditional Yokai?
I suggest the obakemono project:

oooh! And watch the Great Yokai War!

Karakasa are one of my favorite yokai, and this is a very cute combination.

Aww, that's so adorable. It's nice to see that people know that Japense mythology doesn't revolve ony around yurei and onryo.

Thanks!

Yokai are just so much more fun! It's only been in the last year that I have really become enamored with Mizuki Shigeru and Gegege no Kitarou.

Dr. Venture: No, I started it years ago in a moment of passion! And I'll end it the same way right here in front of Brock, H.E.L.P.eR., and God!

I see then :D I wish I saw Gegege no Kitarou. I just know the characters and basic storyline... But I collect Kaidan stories about yokai and yurei and obakemono in general.

Well , there's Tall Tales
( Paul Bunyan and Pecos Bill )
and other stories but you're right , other than that and kids / holiday stories ( Tooth Fairy , Easter Bunny , and Santa ) ..for the most part we don't really have our own thing...The Pheonix legend comes from several places , as does the unicorn and a few other creatures / stories.
It's really sad.
