Amabie Mugs
Description: Originally an ink drawing, this is one of many Amabie's drawn during our pandemic. Amabie first appeared in Japanese in the 1800's. At the time Amabie said “If an epidemic occurs, draw a picture of me and show it to everyone.” A tee shirt seems the perfect vehicle for this! Amabie is described as a mermaid-like creature with long hair, a beak and 3 legs. Amabie is categorized as a yokai in the Japanese mythical tradition. This is my interpretation of Amabie, she looks good with a plague doctor's mask!
Description: According to Japanese legend, in 1846, a mysterious glowing object was spotted in the ocean, and when a town official went to investigate, a mermaid-like creature appeared. In the sketch he drew of it, it had long hair, a bird's bill, 3 legs and was covered in scales from the neck down. It identified itself to him as an Amabie, and delivered a prophecy before returning to the sea, telling him "If disease spreads, show a picture of me to those who fall ill and they will be cured." The story was printed in the Kawaraban (woodblock newspaper) and was disseminated throughout Japan. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many Japanese believe seeing and distributing Amabie's image could keep infectious diseases away, and wear her on their person.
