Yokai: Mysterious Monsters of Japan
39.99 €
They inhabit mountains, forests, seas, rivers, and even dreams. They lurk in abandoned houses, peer into windows when you're alone, hide behind furniture, in dark corners, or damp basements, and emerge from their lairs at night. These are the yokai, spirits and monsters of Japanese folklore, whose world simultaneously frightens and fascinates. Some are terrifying, others protect, and still others simply toy with us, like capricious children in the afterlife. There are countless of them, and each has its own story, full of secrets.
This artbook is an invitation to a literary and documentary journey into the land of the supernatural. Through illustrations, prints, detailed descriptions, legends, and historical facts, you will learn about dozens of creatures from all over Japan. The mischievous zashiki-warashi, the terrifying umibōzu, the enchanting fox kyuubi-no-kitsune, the beautiful and dangerous yuki-onna, and other yokai will come to life on the pages of this artbook through the prism of the past and present.
