Kasa Obake: Umbrella Attack, 2016.

I made my first Kasa Obake drawing in 2015, and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to make another. Click this link to see last year's Kasa Obake, and to learn more about the history of this character from Japanese folklore. Here is the 2016 reboot:

Kasa "Umbrellaman" Obake

Kasa-Obake is a strange type of mischievous spirit from Japanese folklore called a Tsukumogami.

It's said that a Tsukumogami is born from a useful household object when it reaches its 100th year of existence. The object receives the gift of self-awareness in payment for its many years of helpful service. 

Geisha Smoking A Joint

I tried to draw the pot smoking Geisha in a simple and clean style like in the old Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints. The color palette is Mœbius inspired.
