Yokai Attack Japanese Monster Survival Guide SC

Description

"Yokai are Japan’s traditional creepy-crawlies. Almost always encountered in the dark of night, they were once feared throughout the land. But they’re more than just myth, more provocative than pop culture — references to yokai abound in Japanese idioms, and nearly every Japanese person has at least a passing knowledge of the most famous of these captivating creatures from times of old. Now, after collecting data and descriptions from a variety of sources, including first-hand accounts and microfilms of 18th-century publications stored in the National Diet Library in Tokyo, authors Hiroko Yoda and Matt Alt have produced the first English-language guide to Japan’s yokai monsters."
