Here’s a reproduced art I made that depicts a mystical Buddhist bird (karyōbinga in Japanese; kalavinca in Sanskrit) characterized by a bird's body and a human head.

Originally a woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai.

Entry 10: Karyōbinga (or Kalaviṅka). These divine beings SOAR through the skies of paradise. Their voices are known to be the most beautiful, and they use heavenly musical instruments to sing the word of the buddhas and scriptures.
