Baku (獏 or 貘) are Japanese supernatural beings that devour dreams and nightmares. They have a long history in Japanese folklore and art.

The Japanese term baku has two current meanings, referring to both the traditional dream-devouring creature and to the zoological tapir (e.g., the Malaysian tapir)

The tapir is one of my all time favourite animals. What a lovely picture.

That should be on my wall.... it's actually something you see in movies. And then you go and buy it because it's that good.

It's a lovely drawing. I like psychedelic dreamy stuff.

Ok Myrna, that was very educational. But however your comment had failed to acknowledge his excellent work in depicting the animal. Which is what I believe your next post was.

I couldn't really tell it was Baku if it wasn't for the beard. What's with the creature?
