papercraft yogen no tori two-headed crow yokai

Johan Scherft's papercraft birds are beautiful, but; ...do they have two heads? I didn't think so... 😋

But then again, yogen no tori are no ordinary birds: they are Japanese yokai spirits resembling two-headed crows, one head black and the other one white communicating important prophecies from the gods to humans. 🐦🐦

It is said that if you look at their image both in the morning and in the evening, they could protect you from plagues and epidemics. 😷
