Transgressors of social boundaries often are portrayed in mythology as monsters. Conversely, victims of monstrous deeds are transformed and disfigured into vengeful forms. This panel examines distinctly female monsters and ghosts in the context of modernizing Japan. Strongly featured in this panel are the yurei/onryo from the early 2000s horror films and manga. Other figures include goddesses and historical ghosts, and their contemporary counterparts such as Pokemon.
PG-13 gendered violence, domestic violence, body horror, images of blood
