Beppu Jigoku Oni Vending Machines

A trio of side-by-side vending machines colored green, red, and blue, respectively. Each machine features a stylized, cartoonish figure of an oni—a Japanese folklore demon—dressed in tiger-skin patterned loincloths and holding a spiked iron club (kanabō). The lower panels of the machines are painted with a yellow and black tiger-stripe motif, echoing the traditional depiction of oni clothing in Japanese art.

These vending machines are located in Beppu, Oita Prefecture, a city famous for its 'Hells' (Jigoku), which are geothermal hot springs. The oni imagery draws upon local tourist branding that associates the intense heat and volcanic activity of the region with the Buddhist concept of the underworld.
