Artwork details
Akkorokamui is characteristically described with the ability to self-amputate, like several octopus species, and regenerate limbs. This characteristic manifests in the belief in Shinto that Akkorokamui has healing powers. Consequently, it is believed among followers that giving offerings to Akkorokamui will heal ailments of the body, in particular, disfigurements and broken limbs.
I was always fascinated by octopus. I loved to draw them and I was intrigued by their watery nature, beautiful colours and reclusive personalities.
I have discovered that the octopus is a very complex spirit animal. They interacts with the universe on many levels and has a lot to teach. Some of the symbolism tied to octopus are: will, focus, magic, reason, illusion, defense, mystery, strategy, potential, knowledge, diversity, creativity, flexibility, expansion, complexity, intelligence, adaptability, insatiability, and unpredictability.
