FANTASMI YOKAI

A high-impact volume that collects the most impressive depictions of yokai, the ghosts of Japanese tradition. Oiwa with a face deformed by poison, the beautiful Yuki-onna with a terrifying gaze, the poor Okiku thrown into a well by her master, and then the spirits of warriors who died at sea, samurai filled with resentment... All these presences haunt the lives of mortals and populate the folklore, art, and literature of the Land of the Rising Sun, still inspiring horror films, manga, and novels today. A work, divided into chapters dedicated to the various types of ghosts, to discover the darkest and most frightening side of Japanese imagination.
