古椿の霊 Furutsubaki no Rei: The old camellia spirit. Dedicated to @Lir (@Lir), because he’s always so kind, loves Japanese mythology, and knows this yōkai too. 🥰🙏🏻
Lore: In Shintō religion, everything possesses a soul. When a camellia tree becomes old, its spirit can separate from the tree and gain supernatural powers, like shapeshifting, which it uses to bewitch and trick humans, often in an evil way. 🌺
