Aka shojo

Shojo are mythical creatures living near the sea and have an inordinate taste for intoxicants. Their faces are human with long red hair. The hair can produce a dye if a fisherman is lucky enough to catch one. In this case Aka Shojo is shown dancing with a ladle in one hand next to a pot full of wine and under a half moon which is reflected at the bottom in the water.
