Description

The Weird and the Terrifying. - Name: Umi bōzu (sea monk) Location: Japan Perhaps the most mysterious of the aquatic yokai, the Umi Bozu's true form is unknown. The creature is only seen from the shoulders up, appearing to be roughly human shaped, with black skin and huge round eyes. The Umi Bozu's head is smooth and round like that of a monk, thus the name, and it's size ranges from a little larger than a ship to a size so huge that the only thing seen is their face above the water. The Umi bōzu will apear on calm nights bringing sudden changes to the weather, creating furious waves and rain. The Yokai will appear and demand a barrel from the crew, with which it uses to pour huge amounts of water onto the deck, quickly sinking the boat and drowning the crew. If given a barrel with the bottom removed, it will try to scoop water to no effect, and the sailor will be able to escape. Some say the Umi bōzu are the spirits of drowned priests, cast into the sea by angry villagers. - All pieces in "The Weird and the Terrifying" collection are highly textured 3000x3000 png files created using only four colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black), with tonal variations and other colors coming from halftones and color overlay in order to maintain the stipulated color limtiations.
