Hyakki Yagyo - Guai, shares the same worldview as the previous work but delves into deeper explorations. The previous work, Die-cut Hyakki Yagyo, was based on the theme of a girl and a lizard, portraying the lizard as a 'dragon.' In contrast, this work expands on the theme of a 'tiger.' Although it depicts a 'lizard and a lion,' it is constructed with the souls of a dragon and a tiger. There was no time limit for this creation, and it can be said that it was a work that the artist, Masato Ohata, gave his all and put in his maximum effort within the limited time.
Although more than half of the time was spent on the preliminary composition, there may still be some imperfections, but there is no regret. It is one of the works that Masato Ohata created with great effort and affection. The blending of yokai (Japanese supernatural creatures) and bizarre elements in the Hyakki Yagyo series is a result of Masato Ohata's free artistic expression and reflects his personal preferences.
It also reveals a part of the artist's 'true self' in the work. Don't miss your chance to add this beautifully sculpted resin statue to your collection today!
