supekutoramu

by Danny Ingrassia

A work referring to the extremely popular culture of Japanese horror. These types of monsters, called yōkai, are numerous. Many of them have their own specific name, scare them in a certain way, for example, by sitting on the victim’s back and creating a huge burden. The phantom in the picture comes out of the walls of the rooms and looks at its sleeping victims, but most often it does not hurt them. He revels in fear itself, which it definitely evokes with its gaze. It paralyzes its victims and waits… When it leaves, the paralysis disappears. Its operation is similar to the nightmare, also known as the bane, which we know, for example, from a painting by Johann Füssli.
