Tengu
Another lino cut, one of my favorites so far, measures aprox. 5x9
this one depicts a tengu one of the japanese yokaii (spirit or supernatural being)
The tengu is part vulture part human and is a harbringer of war. The are also charged with guarding mountains and can control the wind via fans made of feathers. This Tengu’s fan is draped over his shoulder and he is playing with small gusts of wind on his mountain perch. (traditonally their long noses are red but you’ll have to use your imagination until i figure out how to make multi color prints.)
