Kamikiri

The creature has the head and beak of a dark, speckled bird with large, bulging yellow eyes rimmed in red. Its body is covered in mottled gray-black patterns with light-colored spots, and it wears a white loincloth around its waist. It is shown in a hunched, seated position, gesturing with one claw-like hand while holding a pair of shears or scissors near the ground. The background is a plain, weathered paper texture.

The Kamikiri (literally 'hair-cutter') is a yōkai from Japanese folklore believed to manifest in the Edo period to snipe locks of human hair, often as a prelude to a supernatural encounter. It represents the liminal anxiety surrounding invisible, inexplicable occurrences in urban settings.
