Superb Yokai images from the world's leading museums and private collections!

Japan's vast pantheon of supernatural creatures includes demons (yokai), monsters, ogres (oni), ghosts (yurei) and magicians--mythical beings from folklore and popular culture which continue to thrill readers of traditional stories and manga today.

This richly illustrated book by Andreas Marks, the leading authority on Japanese woodblock prints, presents authentic illustrations and descriptions of 100 different creatures, including:

  • Bakeneko: Monster cats in human form who lick lamp oil and prey on humans born in the year of the Rat
  • Han'nya: Female demons with sharp and pointed horns, metallic eyes and a smirking smile
  • Hihi: Large ape-like monsters who live in the mountains and have superhuman strength, enabling them to kidnap and kill humans
  • Mikoshi-nyudo: Yokai with an enormously extended necks who appear only at night
  • And many more!
