📚 Story Description
Among mountain shrines where incense smoke blends with drifting evening fog, travelers sometimes speak of a figure known only as Kasarogasu—the Mistbound Raven Witch.
She is said to appear at dusk, wrapped in flowing garments that move like the mist itself. Her companion is a raven whose feathers carry faint glowing symbols, each representing a forgotten oath or unfulfilled prayer.
According to quiet legends, Kasarogasu is neither benevolent nor malicious. She wanders the border between realms, keeping balance between wandering spirits and the living world.
Her whispers stir the mist. Her footsteps leave no imprint. And when she raises her hand, the raven circles above, tracing sigils in the air that guide lost souls back to safer paths.
Some say she searches for someone she once failed to protect. Others say she is the fog itself—given form only when the world is out of balance.
In this painting, thick oil textures carve the drifting fog, the deep indigo dusk, and the soft glow around her silhouette. The raven’s curse marks shine like fragments of fading starlight.
She stands not as a monster, but as a lonely, ethereal guardian woven from sorrow and sky.
