yeah, critters in Yume Nikki, like the Oni and the Yuki-Onna, are drawn from various sources. you will see them referenced elsewhere. it happens.
I thought it was common knowledge that a good bit of the effects were based in japanese folk lore..
>>2251I can only think of three. Yuki-Onna, Nopperabou, and Oni (If Oni counts). I guess you might be able to consider Medamuade, but that seems original to Yume Nikki.

>>2289Isn't Medamaude part of Inca or Indian?..Something about eyes on the hands representing looking into one's self.Oni are Japanese folk lore. Creatures who use drums to create thunder/lightning. I don't know much about them..

>>2291I just did some research on it, and got this from some site: "The pancultural Eye-in-Hand icon manifests the integral and interactive bond between two essential human functions: sensing/observation (the Eye) and doing/acting (the Hand). Together these two abilities represent the most effective symbolic condensation of the ideals of human existence - omniscience (all-knowing) and omnipotence (all-powerful) - in a very simple two-part icon: the Eye in the Hand."I don't know if that Medamuade's intended meaning, but that's all I could find. I also know that the closing of the hand is symbolic to something, I just don't remember what.
