Busao

They are the bloodthirsty shadow-spirits who haunt the dark fringes of the world, feeding on the life-force and the fear of those who wander too far from the light. Often taking the form of terrifying monsters or invisible winds of sickness, they are the enforcers of the spiritual taboos who strike when the laws of the ancestors are broken. Do we fear the monster because it is ugly, or because it is the manifestation of our own guilt and the broken harmony of our lives? They are the reminders that the world is a dangerous place where every action has a spiritual consequence that may demand a price in blood.
