What is a youkai?
This time I will introduce the "Yokai" in my name.
What is a youkai?
Youkai are strange things and things that cannot be explained, especially events that are not good for us.
Also, youkai make things that people can't do, such as "raining" and "flying in the sky," easy, so people were scared of youkai and tried not to meet them.
Youkai and God
It is said that there are countless gods in Japan.It is called "Yaoyorozu no kami(eight million gods)" in Japan.
And the gods are also the ones who can do things that people cannot do, such as "raining" and "flying in the sky."
So what is the difference between youkai and gods?
In fact, it's the same.
However, it is "God" who does many positive things for people, and "Yokai" who does many negative things.
Therefore, some of the same things may be youkai or gods depending on the location.
Things that are both youkai and gods
I am both a youkai and a gods, and my favorite is the "Tengu" .
Tengu is famous as a youkai, but it is worshiped as a god at Mt. Takao in Hachioji, Tokyo.
In addition, "Oni (demon)" and "kappa" may also be worshiped as gods.
Finally
This time, I briefly explained "What is a youkai?", But next time I will explain the types of youkai.
