	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. Aka Shojo 。明治（1868 - 1912）。水墨设色绢本立轴。质良重裱。Aka Shojo 是生活中海边的神话生物，对麻醉品有独特的嗜好。渔民用它的头发作染料。
