Fledgling Tengu Genuine YOKAI print (Large)
By Isobel Smith
These prints provide the WORLD'S FIRST UNDENIABLE EVIDENCE of the actual existence of YOKAI - Japan's mythical monsters. Captured, (at considerable risk to myself) while on an imaginary residency in Japan last autumn.

Sorry we've sold out.
Based on Gyotaku fish prints made by Japanese fishermen to prove their catches, these original one-off prints were taken by catching and inking-up LIVE YOKAI, before pressing their wrigging forms onto the hand-made paper. They are each unique and provide absolute proof of the existence of Yokai. Made at considerable risk to myself, I can guarantee that no Yokai were injured in the making of these prints. Stamped and signed to certify authenticity.
This print is taken from a live fledgeling Tengu, a fully grown one would't have fit on the paper I had available, and was too fierce for me to handle alone. Fully grown Tengu have long red noses, this baby's nose is just starting to develop. Considered almost as Gods, they are guardians of the forest, capable of stirring up wind and storms. I found this one stunned on the forest floor, possibly recovering from it's first attempt at flight.
The residency was made possible by the generous support of The Fondamento Dello Scherzo
