📚 Story Description
(Inspired by Japanese Urban Legend)
In the dark recesses of school hallways, where the echo of footsteps feels unnaturally distant, there exists a ghostly presence—Hanako-san, the spirit of the school bathroom. According to urban legend, she is a young girl who tragically perished in a school restroom, her soul bound to the very space where she met her untimely end. To summon her, one must knock three times on the bathroom stall door and call her name: “Hanako-san, are you there?”
Hanako-san is often described as a spectral girl with dark hair and a red skirt, her face hidden in the shadows. She is a ghost of both sorrow and mischief—some say she offers guidance or protection to those who seek her, while others believe she is a harbinger of doom. Her presence is often preceded by strange sounds, a chilling wind, or the flickering of dim lights.
In this watercolor painting, Hanako-san is depicted as a haunting figure, her ghostly form bathed in the dim light of a flickering school bathroom. Her long, black hair cascades around her, partially obscuring her face, while her red skirt adds a vibrant contrast to the eerie setting. The background captures the stillness of the school restroom, with faint reflections on the cold, tiled walls and the unsettling silence of her realm.
Her presence evokes both fear and curiosity—many seek her, but few are prepared for the darkness that follows. The painting encapsulates the eerie tension of the legend, where the line between reality and the supernatural seems blurred.
