curious ordinary<p>If you love Matthew Meyer's <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23yokai" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yokai</a> art (see below), I would highly recommend his fabulous books (outline of each in thread). They have all his gorgeous art alongside information about the yokai. I have learnt so much from his work.
