Story of rokurokkubi

Description

his painting was born from Yao Mikami’s imagination, where folklore bleeds into raw emotion. It depicts not a monster, but a memory trapped in flesh.
A geisha’s love stretches beyond death. In this haunting vision, her elegant neck elongates—a ghostly curve of endless yearning—toward the memory of her lost samurai. Kimono silks bleed into the smoke of a tragic fire, her perfect makeup fissured by a century of waiting. More than a youkai, she is the moment devotion becomes eternity. Mikami captures not a monster, but the beautiful, tragic anatomy of an unforgotten heart.
