tsuno 鬼の角 伝説 Oni Demon Legends about their horns
Why do Oni have horns ?
The explanation relates to the concept of
. kimon 鬼門 Oni gate - Demon Gate .
The zodiac animals associated with this 北東の方角 Northeastern region are
ushi-tora 丑寅 the bull and the tiger.
Oni are therefore usually depicted with bull horns and tiger fangs, wearing loincloths made of tiger skin.
(Tigers were not known in Japan.)
. Why are the Oni often wearing 虎柄のパンツ tiger pants? .
There are Oni with one or two horns, and some have none, see below!
