According to Brittanica. Oni, in Japanese folklore, a type of demonic creature often of giant size, great strength, and fearful appearance. They are generally considered to be foreign in origin, perhaps introduced into Japan from China along with Buddhism. Cruel and malicious; oni have been depicted in various ways in Japanese legend and art. Sometimes also as women, they are characteristically thought of as pink, red, or blue-grey in colour, with horns, three toes, three fingers, and on occasion with three eyes.

The Oni exists in folklore and legend, the Oni mask is the primary way that the creature is depicted in traditional preforming arts. My rendition of The Oni is difficult to tell where the mask ends and the creature begins. Leading to a different take of an amazing piece of folklore.
