Next Steps (Research-Informed)

Marketing researcher has completed motif analysis. Recommended next batch: - Kitsune (狐) — Moonlit fox spirit with nine tails and fox-fire orbs - Tengu (天狗) — Mountain guardian with feathered wings - Kappa (河童) — River imp emerging from water

These form the "Yōkai Travelers" series — a cohesive collection sharing the same format, style, and red-kanji seal treatment.
