#JLMyōkaioftheday : Onikuma or “demon bear”  

The onikuma is a bear yōkai who lives deep in forests and mountains, rarely seen by humans. It only comes out of hiding to snatch livestock, which is its primary food source. 

It is said that the onikuma is extremely large and strong, and can carry both a cow and a horse on its back! When its home in the mountains is threatened, it launches large round boulders down the slope to harm its attackers. #japanloverme Art by @littlemisspaintbrush
