This project is a modern version of Hyakki Yagyo (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons), an illustrated handbook about ghosts and monsters from Japanese and Chinese folklore. Working in a traditionally Asian, graphic style of drawing , I create new, allegorical monsters based on international corporations that have a global impact on daily life. The drawings depict invented stories about these monsters' interactions with common villagers and their effects on culture and the environment.
