An urban art project in Spain is stencilling the Kodama tree spirits from Mononoke Hime across Malaga.

Cute and yet disturbing. They look kind of like miniature Dios De Los Muertos figurines....

It's an interesting comparison.

The Kodama are one of the saddest things in Mononoke Hime, as they slowly fade away as the trees fall, and the humans move into the forest.

One of my favourite films.

I wish the arty folk would take more care not to let the spray paint drip like that. That looks creepy, not cute.

Black teardrops from the eyes and black "blood" dripping from the mouth, they look like Whitby Kodama.

I saw it as a line of drool to go with what looked like a particularly gormless expression...
not having seen this particular Anime yet)...

I don't think the urban art people intended the figures to look at all different from the anime. That dripping looks like an artifact of sloppy spraying to me, especially since there are drips coming off the "237" as well.

Those things always remind me of the aborted foetus in the issue of Sandman when the dead come back to public school.
