Background
Oni are among the most recognizable figures in Japanese mythology, typically depicted as large, fearsome humanoids with horns, wild hair, and brightly colored skin — most commonly red or blue. They appear throughout Japanese art, literature, and festival tradition, most prominently in the Setsubun bean-throwing ritual in which oni are driven away to bring good fortune. In modern Japanese visual culture, oni have been widely reinterpreted as complex or sympathetic figures, appearing frequently in manga, anime, and games.
