TsumaKashi ~Peeping ghost
Next is the youkai, whose name is “Peeping Monster”.
According to the translation from the ancient documents, the appearance is spindle-shaped.
It looks like a freshly made mochi is picked up and pulled up.
It’s like a sloppy creature in Scandinavian children’s literature
However, the difference is that the head (?) Is slightly swollen.
One huge eyeball is settled there.
In the illustrations of old documents, maybe because of the weight of the big eyeballs
The head was tilted, as if the letter J was upside down.
To be clear, it’s not cute.
The color of the torso is also called black, gray, or translucent.
If you have an ambiguous torso, it’s a bonus
The first big one is probably the main body.
So what do youkai do?
I just keep looking, staring at me.
Those who are obsessed with peeping will feel the line of sight all the time.
When I noticed, in the corner of my line of sight, from the shadow, from the crowd,
And sometimes a huge peeping monster just covering the sky from overhead
I find myself staring at myself all the time.
The appearance of the peeping monster can only be seen by the obsessed person
Those who are possessed will eventually become weak and crazy.
Sometimes he chooses to die himself
A youkai that is not in the knowledge of the original world.
However, the youkai in this world also differ only in whether they actually exist or not.
Like the youkai of the original world, I think it was born from people’s imagination and emotions such as fear and fear.
Therefore, I guess from a youkai with a shape very similar to the original world.
First of all, “Ichimoku Ren”
If it was drawn by a certain national youkai cartoonist, it looks like a “giant eye floating in the void”.
Originally, it was a one-eyed dragon and was the god who controlled the storm.
Probably because it was inspired by a tornado or the eyes of a typhoon.
It wouldn’t be relevant.
Next is “One-legged”, which is a one-legged youkai at first.
Originally, it is said to be the god of blacksmithing, Tenme Ichikagami.
Because blacksmithing is the work of keeping an eye on the fire while avoiding sparks.
The mythical and folklore existence of this is often represented by the first eye regardless of the east or west of the ocean.
For example, the Greek mythology Cyclopes
So this would be different too.
And “Nobiagari”
The figure drawn by the youkai cartoonist
“With a big eye, a long torso like a human soul,
A bizarre figure with countless tentacle-like limbs growing from there. ”
Shaped like a surrealist art or a deep-sea creature rather than a youkai
This is pretty close
So what does Nobiagari do?
It suddenly appears on the roadside and grows in a blink of an eye.
The more you look up, the bigger it gets
A youkai that only surprises you, and is said to be an otter.
There is a gradual increase in the number of youkai with similar characteristics.
It can be said that this is a youkai created by fear of unidentified things.
The more frightened you are, the bigger the unidentified thing looks from your fear.
This also seems to have little relevance to the phantom
However, there is something that gets caught.
Interestingly, the appearance of the ghost cartoonist’s drawing
There are two versions.
One is the one mentioned above, and the other is like a huge figure.
The latter is close to the image in folklore
The former is the “something unidentified” of the eyewitness testimony that is also modern.
It feels like a visualization.
Why are there two versions?
Before drawing any conclusions, let’s talk about another typical youkai.
“Back Baird”
“American, New York youkai
Branch-like objects grow radially in a huge black circle,
It looks like it has a big eye in the center. Appeared in the building area in the evening,
If you stare at the huge first one, it will cause intense dizziness, so
It will be dropped if you are on the roof of a building.
A youkai that is strict with lolicon, which is said to be the true identity of photochemical smog. ”
As you can see from the fact that the place is NY
It is a youkai that has no original folklore. It is also called his original youkai.
According to one theory, it was born under the influence of the French painter Redon painting at the end of the 19th century.
(A picture of a balloon with the first monotone)
Monocular youkai, what is the fear of them?
“There is no thing that should be there” By missing the only common thing
Fear of lack, distorting everyday life?
But that’s the case with Hitotsume Kozo.
When it comes to the huge first thing that floats in the void
It would embody a universal image.
Unlike the two eyes, in the case of monocular, no matter where you look
It feels like the focus is on you
In other words, “the feeling of always staring at yourself” is the root of the peeping monster.
“Society or everyone is watching and blaming themselves”
A realization of such an obsession
The youkai born from it are thought to be peeping monsters.
And the abiotic form may symbolize the isolation between oneself and the world.
Then, the same motif was hidden in various youkai that I drew.
Does it mean that the national youkai cartoonist also had such a feeling in himself?
A cartoonist who is known for his guiltless way of life
I can’t imagine having that feeling
It may have had such a feeling because it was not sewn.
… Well, it’s just like my own delusion.
The obsession of being “supervised” is actually
Your inner responsibilities, inferiority complex, pressure, guilt
It’s just a projection of that kind of thing.
Now, what about those things that are related to sex?
It is a “hidden sexual desire”.
Yes, the peeping monster
Unlike that of other youkai, the peeping monster itself does not have sexual intercourse.
Just look into the sexual intercourse of the shrine maiden.
And as I keep staring at it
Inner hidden sexual desire
Uncover, expose, and accelerate.
When I had a black desire
Such a youkai comes as a pinch partner
Is this a coincidence?
================ Author Note ================
I realized that Fire Magna wasn’t qualified to live … totally defeated.
================ Footnotes ================
There is a gradual increase in the number of youkai with similar characteristics.
