JOROGUMO Crochet Spiderweb Bikini do not remove credit.

[tanuki-kimono]

Luscious purple for this antique summer kimono showing jorogumo (golden orb-weaver spider) on their delicate webs.

OP nicknamed this kimono 'Temptation of the Spider's Web', a nod to the fact jorogumo also used to designate dangerous youkai who loved to lure humans, especially men, and then devour them. They appeared as partly or full humans, always taking the shape of beautiful and entrancing women.

Their name was originally written with 女郎 kanji lit. meaning “whore” which may explain the association often found in tales between them and classical yujo (prostitute) features and tools – such as cord instruments (like shamisen, or sometimes biwa).

Drider GF!

I was just having fun designing clothing that she would have spun from her own silk.

I'm working on a BM backstory slowly

It would be for both my Addams Family AU and for just Rise, I think it'd be able to work lore-wise for both so why not

She lives in a village of fellow Jorogumo, long before the existence of humans. She appeared out of the forest one day, being taken in by one of the kinder women, who tended to her like a daughter.

But the girl held a dark, festering greed inside her, something the others scorned her for. And what she didn't find useful, she forced aside :)

ALSO I HAVE A TWITTER NOW ITS @/lackablazeical FOLLOW ME ✨️✨️✨️

Jorogumo, the Japanese half human, half spider yokai, served as the inspiration for this beautiful and spooky goat commission!

The stark contrast in colors and the great many stripes as seen on a real life joro spider turned out very striking!

✨Also a reminder that our first ever pin Kickstarter Pride Demons 🏳️‍🌈 in now LIVE! ✨

My horrific myths series! Realized I didn't have a compiled post of them all together yet that wasn't a sale announcement. I'll still link my etsy though.

Look at them. Like them, even. I really enjoyed making this series and I'm proud of how these came out.
