#Otohime is the mother of Urashima Rui, my #Ocs. Since my ocs is directly tied to the tale of #UrashimaTaro, this is my version of how I imagine her in the universe of #YoroidenSamuraiTroopers #RoninWarriors
She dies from the pain of losing her husband, turning into sea foam before Rui's eyes #art
Urashima Tarō reflects themes of escapism. Tarō’s time at Ryūgū-jō is idyllic, but returning to find his world changed shows the risks of leaving reality behind. The folktale asks: what do we lose when we chase perfection? #UrashimaTaro #JapaneseFolklore
Some versions of Urashima Tarō hint at the moral: respect given gifts and warnings. By opening the tamatebako, Tarō defies trust and curiosity. This act, while human, reminds us of the weight of choices in life and mythology. #UrashimaTaro #JapaneseStories
The tamatebako in Urashima Tarō is a mysterious artifact linked to time and memory. When opened, it releases smoke that ages Tarō instantly. This symbolizes how the past, once revisited, can forever change the present. #UrashimaTaro #JapaneseMyths
Charathers: #RyoSanada (Canon) x Rui Urashima #Oc
Context: Rui Urashima is an oc I created based on an old Japanese fairy tale and the son of the two protagonists of this story: #UrashimaTaro and #Otohime

The turtle in Urashima Tarō is more than a guide—it’s an ocean messenger. In Japanese folklore, animals often act as bridges between worlds, symbolizing harmony with nature. Rescuing the turtle sets the story’s events in motion. #JapaneseFolklore #UrashimaTaro
Urashima Tarō is a beloved Japanese folktale about a fisherman who rescues a turtle. In gratitude, the turtle takes him to the undersea Dragon Palace, Ryūgū-jō, where time passes differently. This tale blends themes of gratitude, time, and fate. #UrashimaTaro #JapaneseFolklore
Art from last year!
So for my manga, a lot of Japanese fairytale/mythological creatures and characters appear. And out of all of them, I gave Urashimataro a design first!
Only difference is instead of turning into an old man, he gets turtled! 🐢🌊

A view looking down into Nezame-no-Toko Gorge on a bright autumn day. The blue river cuts a curve through the light-coloured rocks of the gorge; on our left, trees turning yellow, orange and red with the season crowd in close to the riverbank. Sunlight strikes the scene at an angle, and the trees cast long shadows over the river. On our right, a small structure stands surrounded by a cluster of pines.
Title: Nezame on the Kiso River (1925)

絶対開けないでと言われたなのに、なぜか大事の人から聞けずに開いた。
After being told never to open this gift from his love, why did Urashimataro open it anyway?

Urashima Taro is a beloved Japanese folktale about a fisherman who rescues a turtle and is rewarded with a visit to the undersea palace of the Dragon God. After spending what seems like a few days in the palace, he returns to his village only to find that many years have passed. #UrashimaTaro
