Mostri Yokai

In Japan, fear is everywhere: in the forest, near a well, in the dark room of a house, in a temple, in a cemetery, in a den. Born in an era when the streets were lit by the weak light of lanterns, yokai are various and multifaceted monsters. Gigantic animals emerging from the depths of the Earth, ancient objects coming to life, mischievous and hybrid beings always ready to play pranks... Supernatural creatures, scary and fascinating, omnipresent in Japanese culture. This book contains a wide range of them, beautifully illustrated by the works of the masters of fantastic prints.
