The tale of Okiku Of The Nine Plates is an old Japanese story full of desire, deceit, murder and revenge. It informs of Okiku, a lovely servant whose master starves after her. After she refuses his amorous advances, he implicates her of stealing a costly plate and has her thrown down a well, where she dies. She then becomes an OnryĆ (a cruel spirit).
Okiku font style is a thin, all caps, scratched typeface. Upper and lower case differ and can be interchanged. Okiku includes an afterlife of diacritics.
