Yaoskep Kamuy the spider god taught us how to make fishing nets, and protects us from harmful parasites. She's a guardian spirit to fishing folk and birthworkers, with an enviable skill for multi-tasking, especially as warrior who refuses to be forced into marriage.

An illustration of Yaoskep Kamuy the Ainu spider god, sitting cross legged in front of a purple background. She weaves a spiderweb with 6 fish caught in the blue water. There are killer whales and an octopus in the dark at the very bottom. Yaoskep Kamuy holds a knife and sword at her sides, defending her back from murderers while her back arms hang a protective web above her head. In the red sky, Pashkuru Kamuy the crow gods chase away an eclipse, while missiles rain down from a turbulent and stormy sky. The eclipse and storm are passing, indicating hope for a peaceful future.

not to be dramatic but i really do feel like a chunk of my purpose is evaporated. nothing inspired me quite like yakuza, especially in drawing and stuff. that’s why people even bothered with me at all! doesnt erase how i feel about certain entries but i just can’t express it right now. ✌️😔

"Underestimating himself was bad, actually." Cannot say enough good things about c0mm'ing @bootlegdemon.bsky.social who did an incredible job drawing my AU Nanba on his very very bad vacation he's having in Ijincho Crow: Blind Faith. They made him look so handsome and miserable tysm again Tate🥹🖤💚

Ponochiw is the kamuy of Mercury, and is regarded as the child of Nisatsawotnochiw, kamuy of Venus and Pakorkamuy, kamuy of smallpox in some Ainu cosmologies. Interesting connection considering impact crater scarring is such a feature of Mercury's surface 🪐

Repunkuru Noka colors based on the Ainu flag, designed by Ainu artist Bikky Sunazawa in 1973. "A red arrowhead accentuated by a white design symbolizing the deep snow of Hokkaido, against the intense blue of the sky. An arrowhead embodies the spirit of the iyomante, the bear ceremony." - C.Dubreuil
