If you participated in the Mononoke Movie Kickstarter for a reward tier, check your mailbox! Packages went out in late December and ought to be arriving now.
Mine came on the 31st but I missed the delivery and had to pick it up at the post office today. The project managers definitely wanted to make sure everything got to me safely. I'll post pics later but everything is utterly gorgeous ✨

pookie are u still alive the 12 people in this fandom are getting revived bcs of the movie
We are ALIVE!
Based on maximum post interactions on just this blog, I estimate the Mononoke fandom population on Tumblr to be somewhere north of 200. We don't do so bad. 😁
When I first watched Mononoke it drove me crazy that there wasn't any more. Never expected that there would be. Yet here we are. Amazing, isn't it?
#mononoke 2007#kusuriuri#asks#the japanese fandom must be huge honestly#based on the fact that mononoke was elected for a 15th anniversary project out of multiple titles#plus the kickstarter funding merchandising etc.#I think it's unusual among anime in that its creators didn't care much about making it palatable to westerners#(I don't know that much about the industry though that's just the impression I get)

Finished this just in time for the new trailer drop! This is my Mononoke illustration featuring assorted merch from the anime, movie, and stage play! How many can you recognize? ⚖️👹
(Yes, please send answers in the replies! Answers, progress pics, artist commentary will be drafted on a separate post when I'm less tired) ⭐️ UPDATE 04/03/24: Abridged artist commentary is now available under the cut! For the full version, please see the Google Doc linked in the replies.
👁️Overview
Late last year, I rather belatedly discovered Mononoke’s 15th anniversary came and went, and with it, an entire swath of new content to manically pore over. This is an illustration of the various Mononoke merchandise, props, and set dressing I discovered.
---
🔎Scope
Some fun facts regarding the work that went into this illustration!
Not including research time, this project ran for roughly two months, consuming much of my waking hours outside of my full time and freelance jobs.
While the illustration does not depict all of my findings, it does feature over 120 unique props and set dressings!
The majority of the props and set dressing were modeled to varying degrees of detail in SketchUp.
To model prep, I often put together schematics on Photoshop or Illustrators. Some were created from scratch. Others were created with the liberal usage of the Photoshop transform and perspective warp function.
The master file is 1.5GB. The dimensions are 6400x3600 at 300 dpi, and contains over 2,200 layers.
Near the end of production, the master file became so unwieldy I created a separate working file. This way, I could create assets lag-free then import the layers into the master file.
---
Past this point is where most of the commentary cuts were made for the sake of brevity. Again, look in the replies for the Google Doc link containing the full version with a table of contents for easier navigation!
---
🗳️3D Layout
As you can see, the backbone of this illustration is the 3D model. I spent perhaps 30-40% of my production time on this stage.
And this is the lit version. The lighting ultimately got downplayed in favor of showcasing the vibrant colors. I like how simple it looks though!
---
🎬Production-Based Set Dressing
In addition to merchandise, I wanted to insert set dressing and props from the various Mononoke productions.
🦊Kusuriuri
It’s odd to have a section dedicated just to him, but his unique appearance warrants it. His garb and overall appearance is an amalgam of the anime and movie. The original intent was ambiguity– kind of like the blue/black vs. yellow/white dress phenomena a few years back. But after doing the color flats, I rather liked how the rich, unaltered colored fit with the overall composition so it became more blatant. I’m surprised that nobody has commented on this since I published the illustration. Maybe because I didn’t feature him in a close-up?
🐈 kai ~Ayakashi~Bake Neko (2006)
Finding props iconic to this story arc (outside of the Kusuriuri’s tools of trade, of course) was somewhat difficult. While the environment was richly decorated, it mainly consisted of 2D artwork which I wasn’t keen on retracing. I opted to paint objects that characters interacted with or featured heavily in the show.
Salt Jar
Candlestick
Rat Trap
🦋Mononoke (2007)
The props fall into three distinct categories here: Kusuriuri’s tools and trinkets; things featured in the opening and ending credits; and objects iconic to each of the five story arcs in the series. I tried to keep most of them clustered on the tatami, but as space grew scarce some props trickled up onto the deck as well.
Medicine Box
Exorcism Sword
Tenbin
Paper Talisman
Mirror
Ring
Geta Sandal
Necklace
Paper Umbrella (Zashikiwarashi)
Daruma Dolls ( Zashikiwarashi)
Gunpowder Ball (Umi Bozu)
Smoking Pipe (Nopperabou)
Genjiko Blocks (Nue)
Train Ticket (Bake Neko)
Lantern (Anime OP)
Butterflies (Anime EP)
☂️Mononoke: Karakasa (2024)
Pretty slim pickings for the new movie since I only had the teaser, first trailer, and movie poster to reference from. Kusuriuri’s tools of trade were a given, but finding memorable and narratively significant objects was a tad troublesome.
Thankfully, the set dressing ended up (however subconsciously) strikingly similar to the movie’s environment design, down to the green tatami and multicolor shoji screen. I suppose at this point I was so immersed in Mononoke content that its aesthetics subconsciously informed my design choices!
Exorcism Sword
Tenbin
Paper Talisman
Comb
Movie Poster
Butterfly (Custom design)

Netflix is pursuing legal action after a significant #Anime leak exposed unreleased content ahead of Fall 2024 premieres. The leak included episodes from "Ranma 1/2," "Terminator Zero," #Dandadan, and "Re:Zero," as well as the film "Mononoke."
The company traced the breach to a post-production partner and filed a subpoena on November 15th in the Northern District of California to obtain information from Discord users linked to the leaks, including one user accused of sharing unreleased footage from "Squid Game" Season 2. #Netflix is focused on taking solid measures to mitigate the damage and protect its titles.

Additions and rearrangements to my box of little guys. New residents include my Mononoke 15th anniversary stuff and bath bomb Kusuriuri from @hellionophore (he's adorable, thank you!!), as well as a couple of new Doctors, Three and Seven.
I'd like to add a Four to my Doctor collection, but the Four sculpts I've found so far have ranged from "goofy" to "eldritch abomination," so no luck yet...
#little guy update#mononoke 2007#kusuriuri#mushishi#ginko#classic doctor who#second doctor#third doctor#fifth doctor#seventh doctor#also starring#ds9 odo#ryougi shiki#kara no kyoukai#I mean yes both 'goofy' and 'eldritch abomination' could accurately describe four but#if you've seen any of the pics I've posted of my finds you'll know what I mean

Hi! Sorry if this messages seems a little odd, I just saw that you reblogged the post on the new Mononoke movie and that you stated it looked pretty and you wanted to watch it in the tags. So I just wanted to let you know that this movie is to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the anime series called "Mononoke."
It's done in a similar style. It's a horror anthology series. Since it's an anthology series, you probably don't have to watch the series to enjoy the movie and its story, but if you like the style a lot and want to see more of it, then definitely check out the series too! :D
Here is the OP: https://youtu.be/CAF_NKGx4ec?si=OPQmx_ME52egWs18
Here is a clip from one of the episodes (so you can get the feel of the series) : https://youtu.be/yWmb0paJPjY?si=SETRTuvd7LdDBWVl
I'm always excited at others finding out about Mononoke, so I just wanted to share this info with you, in case you didn't know, lol.
OH THATS SO COOL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFO!!
(It’s not odd at all!! I welcome any infodumping in my ask box)

When I was researching the Mononoke 15th anniversary celebration, I discovered this spin-off novel written by Niki Hideyuki. It contains six new stories - written in Japanese of course, but nothing the liberal usage of Google Translate can't decipher. Take a look at this neat cover art!
Note that classic Kusuriuri is holding the new Kusuriuri's exorcism sword. And while the colors are somewhat inverted, he's also carrying the new backpack. In the background, the top eye graphic is new. On the bottom left corner is a rather faded O.G. eye graphic.
I'm reeling from the lore implications of this. Are the movie and anime versions of Kusuriuri actually the same person?? What circumstances caused the costume change??? I'm rather curious at what your theories are for this!
(Also, the cover art is created by 2964_KO, an artist who drew lots gorgeously illustrated Mononoke fan comics back in 2019. How lucky they are to get early access to production art of the new movie, possibly months before anyone else even got a glimpse of it!)
This looks so cool! I'd love to read a translation. It looks like the electronic version is available here for less than $5.
I've definitely seen that artist's work around, and I think some of his fan comics have been translated.
I've been assuming the design update was due to licensing issues, but that's only because I've seen people say that. This cover art does make me wonder if they just chose to do a new design and based it on this artist's work. He must have had some kind of agreement with them in the first place to release his book (and get it hyped on the official site, no less).
I do assume movie Kusu and original Kusu are the same person, albeit maybe at different... stages of development? For now I'm rolling with the idea that's he's just our Kusu but younger. Whatever that means when you exist outside of time. :p
