Red Heikegani crab

Heikegani Series

This small illustration is inspired by the red crab. (Gecarcoidea natalis). It is a species that lives on Christmas Island and Cocos Islands. This Australian crustacean also has a kind of face on its shell, although it is not as well defined as the Japanese heikegani crab (Heikeopsis Japonica).

When drawing it, I highlighted the human-like shapes on its shell. This species is not related to the Heikegani legend.I simply wanted to bring to light another equally curious crab.

You will also be able to watch a beautiful film on the subject (an excerpt from The beyond - Kwaidan).
