A true legend of Asian myth...The Mogwai!
An 8x10 illustrated print of one of most iconic legends of asian myth, the Mogwai. According to Chinese tradition, Mogwai are certain demons, which often inflict harm on humans. They are said to reproduce sexually during mating seasons triggered by the coming of rain. Supposedly, they take care to breed at these times because rain signifies rich and full times ahead.
There were 'three rules' that are known to keep a Mogwai...if exposed to water, it immediately reproduces more of its kind by budding from its back; if it eats food after midnight, it will transform into a cocoon, going through changes and, given the circumstance, becomes a ferocious, reptilian monster called a ''gremlin''. Sunlight will kill a mogwai and bright light is known to hurt it. Most of the mogwai creatures are mean-spirited and mischievous.
