Yuki-Onna

Yuki-Onna (Snow Woman) for my Yokai series.

Something different from my usual style... hope you'll like it.

Yuki-Onna ( 雪女 )

The Yuki-onna, being associated with winter and snowstorms, is said in some legends to be the spirit of an individual who has perished in the snow and cold. She is at the same time beautiful and serene, yet ruthless in her killing of unsuspecting mortals.

Until the 18th century, she was almost uniformly portrayed as evil. Today, however, stories often color her as more human, emphasizing her ghostlike nature and ephemeral beauty.
