During all my years in Nihon, I never ONCE saw an actual mukade. Thank you for this. I now know they do indeed exist are not merely wives’ tales from inaka JETs. They look extremely “spicy”.
And I’m digging the “bonus” photo as well. That hand and leaf against the blue-grey colored sky, with just a tinge of green shining off the tree up top is unbelievable.
