Description
This book contains a variety of monsters and ghosts, some originating from Japan, others incorporated into Japanese folklore from foreign cultures. According to legend, an ancient emperor received as a gift from a magical animal called Hakutaku an extraordinary volume, a sort of "bestiary of monsters" containing information on all the spirits, ghosts, gods and demons of Japan. Of this book, lost long ago, a few fragments are said to have survived. Over the centuries, Japanese artists created illustrated encyclopedias dedicated to the world of spirits (yokai) and the supernatural. Their main sources were tales and traditions of local folklore, but also history and literature; and they did not fail to draw from the immense heritage of ancient Chinese classics, reinterpreted through the filter of Japanese culture and sensibility. They thus invented many new yokai! And even today the habit of collecting and telling such stories is very developed in Japan.
