Amabie x Aphrodite
“When a pandemic devastates the country, draw an image of me and show it to as many people as possible.”
Amabie is Japanese yokai (monster-spirit) who mysteriously appeared from the sea water and instructed people to share the image of it to stave off the disease.
Amabie was first documented by a government official in Japan in 1846.
I made this drawing so that people can 'share' this image.
You can download the image, only for the personal use against the pandemic!
