This is the first book of Japanese artist Toriyama Sekien's famous Gazu Hyakki Yakō series, published 1776. These books are supernatural bestiaries, collections of ghosts, spirits, spooks and monsters, many of which Toriyama based on literature, folklore, other artwork. These works have had a profound influence on subsequent yōkai imagery in Japan.
My animation adapted from a story of this book. the charecter called Dodomeki, She is a girl who was a thief. One day she saw a rich woman in the market. She followed her,and just when she reached out her hand, she suddenly felt a great pain in her arm. She ran to the riverside and found her arm grew lots of eyes. As she stole more and more things, there were more and more eyes on her body.So she had to wear long robe and cover a cloth on her head.She was afraid, but couldn't stop, and turned into a moster.
A monk heard of this monster, and he had to destroy it before it collected 100 eyes.The monster appeared as a beautiful lady, but the monk used spell to show its original look. The monster's 98 eyes shot rays of sparkling lights and numbed the monk. Just as it nearly got his eyes, to the monster's surprise, the monk hurt his own eyes and blinded the monster with incense ashes. At last, the monk's sacred light shot through the 100-eyed monster's chest.At last,the monster turned into ashes.
