FYI~
In my opinion, Japanese culture and Javanese culture (one of Indonesian cultures)are similiar. So, this year I combined Asagi's outfit on Ouka Saki Some ni Keri with some Javanese culture touches and used Oni as this year theme.

In Javanese folk tale, there was an red eyed evil called Sarpakenaka. One time, She fell in love with Rama, the son of King Dasarata from Ayodya Kingdom. She then tried to seduce Rama by incarnating in a beautiful girl. But, Rama knew what was the real Sarpakenaka and rejected her. Feeling hurt, Sarpakenaka then took her revenge.

From that tale, I had an idea to combine it with Japanese culture. So, I created a figure of an ugly girl who sold herself to evil in order to be beautiful so she could get her man. But, in the end, she became the part of the evil. Hahaha~

I used Javanese fabric called Batik Sutera or the material, because I think it has the same texture as Japanese fabric for a kimono. I also used Sarpakenaka mask for let say.. the accesory haha.. Actually, Sarpakenaka is very ugly, but since I couldn't find her mask anywhere, then I decided to change the mask hahaha~

She has evil eyes.
