Characteristically threatening, monstrous creatures with ugly features and fearful habits, including cannibalism, they also can be harbingers of prosperity, beautiful and sexual, and especially in modern contexts, even cute and lovable. There has been much ambiguity in their character and identity over their long history. Usually male, their female manifestations convey distinctively gendered social and cultural meanings. Oni appear frequently in various arts and media. 606 $aSpirits 606 $aSupernatural 606 $aLegends$zJapan 606 $aFolklore$zJapan 606 $aDemonology$zJapan 615 0$aSpirits. 615 0$aSupernatural. 615 0$aLegends 615 0$aFolklore 615 0$aDemonology 676 $a398.20952 700 $aReider$b Noriko T$0801394 702 $aKnecht$b Peter$4auth 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996213518103316 996 $aJapanese demon lore$92042572 997 $aUNISA
