by Koichi Yumoto (Author)

Immerse yourself in the yokai images and their mesmerizing detail showcased over more than 500 pages in this epic collection!


Lurking beneath the global obsession with manga and anime, there is a world of Japan's yokai monsters, mutants, and vengeful mononoke spirits, which have long held people's imaginations in their terrifying grip ever since the Edo period (16th-19th centuries). These fearsome creatures are now gathered together in this gorgeous new release that, for the first time ever, shows many enlargements of these masterpieces! Selections include over 60 works chosen from the collection at the Yumoto Koichi Memorial Japan Yokai Museum (Miyoshi Mononoke Museum), Japan's - and, in fact, the world's - only museum specializing in Japanese yokai monsters, each reproduced in high-resolution images with explanations. This compilation provides readers with the rare experience of seeing the brushwork of Edo-era painters like Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in detail firsthand. This is a must-have book for those who love strange worlds and mutant creatures, and for anyone wanting to know more about Japanese yokai monsters.
