Kuchisake Onna: Veil of Vengeance

Immerse yourself in the eerie beauty of Kuchisake Onna: Veil of Vengeance, a mesmerising piece inspired by one of Japanese folklore’s most chilling Yokai. Once a strikingly beautiful woman, Kuchisake Onna’s life took a tragic turn when she was brutally mutilated from ear to ear. This vicious act transformed her into a vengeful spirit, cursed to wander the earth and haunt solitary travellers at night. Concealing her disfigured smile behind a fan or cloth, she is said to ask, "Am I beautiful?"—and the answer determines the traveller's fate.

This artwork captures the haunting elegance of her story, using rich colours and intricate details to depict her as both terrifying and tragic. Kuchisake Onna: Veil of Vengeance invites viewers to connect with her story of suffering, vengeance, and transformation, reflecting on the delicate balance between beauty and horror.
