The design conveys that he:

It does not entirely belong to the human world, It is refined and dangerous, and functions as a figure somewhere between exorcist, spirit, and theatrical actor.

Its appearance never seeks to look "realistic"; it seeks to look symbolic and supernatural, as if it were a living Japanese painting.

She has messy, wavy white hair. The reddish tips look like smoke or flames. He wears a dark headscarf reminiscent of street vendors from ancient Japan.

Very pale, almost white skin. Eyes lined in an elongated and dramatic way. Reddish and blue shadows around the eyes. Vertical red marks on the face. Small, bluish/violet lips.

All of this gives it a certain appearance:

androgynous, ghostly, elegant, and disturbing at the same time

Wear traditional Japanese geta sandals. The platforms are high and red, giving it a stylized and elegant silhouette. Long black stockings make her legs look very thin and theatrical.

She wears several red cords and ribbons tied around her waist and legs. He carries a small medicine box hanging on his front, referencing his role as a medicine seller. It has a circular golden ornament resembling a seal or spiritual talisman. In his hand he holds some scrolls/ofudas, normally used for spiritual rituals or exorcisms in Japan.

Kabuki-style makeup, androgynous features, elegant traditional clothing, and a supernatural presence.

Important details:

Piercing eyes and a cold expression. A calm and mysterious voice. He always carries a spiritual sword. Its appearance changes slightly when it reveals its true form.

The design aims to make you never know if it's human, spirit, or something in between.

She wears a long, voluminous kimono with wide sleeves. The main colors are: dark blue, turquoise, purple, deep red, orange, and black and white details.

The circular and geometric patterns make it look like a mix between:

psychedelic art, traditional Japanese textiles, and Kabuki theatre costumes.

The kimono has many overlapping layers, giving it an elegant yet strange, almost supernatural appearance.

extremely calm, intelligent, observer, mysterious, and emotionally distant.

He doesn't act like a typical hero. He investigates cases as if he were a spiritual detective.

To defeat a mononoke you need to discover:

1: The Form (what it is), 2: The Truth (what happened), 3: Reason (the human emotion that created it).

Extremely vivid and contrasting colors. Traditional Japanese patterns on clothing and backgrounds. Backgrounds that look like washi paper or old paintings. Experimental and surreal animation. Constant use of visual symbolism and psychological horror.

The aesthetic mix:

traditional Japanese art, collage, theater, spiritual horror, and modern psychedelia.

That's why many scenes look like moving paintings.

Edo period: kimonos, swords, traditional architecture, rigid social classes, and superstitions. Kabuki and Ukiyo-e theater: the exaggerated colors, dramatic makeup and visual compositions resemble ancient Japanese paintings. Japanese folklore: “mononoke” are spirits, curses, or entities born from intense human emotions such as hatred, guilt, fear, or desire.

Although it seems historical, anime functions more as a symbolic and artistic version of feudal Japan.

The anime Mononoke is heavily inspired by Edo-period Japan (1603–1868), though it doesn't attempt historical accuracy. It blends traditional Japanese elements with a surreal, theatrical, and almost psychedelic aesthetic.

The image you sent is from the most recent Mononoke film, where the visual style becomes even more intense and experimental.
