This artwork is inspired by the Japanese yokai "Ushioni," traditionally depicted with a bull's head and a spider's body. However, embracing the notion that yokai are born from human imagination, I ventured beyond conventional depictions to conceive my own version: the "Ushioni Samurai."

This character dons a samurai helmet adorned with bull horns, symbolizing the bovine aspect of the Ushioni. The body incorporates spider-like features, including a face on the abdomen flanked by small arms, and an additional pair of arms on the back. Together with the limbs of the Ushioni's main body, this design mimics the appearance of a spider's eight legs, blending the distinct traits of both bull and spider into a singular, imaginative figure that pays homage to the rich tapestry of Japanese mythology while showcasing the limitless possibilities of creative interpretation.
