Synopsis

Your Color Illustrated Field Guide to the Weird and Wonderful World of Japanese Monsters

Ever wished you had a field guide to the bizarre and fascinating creatures lurking in the shadows of Japanese folklore? Look no further! "Yokai Illustrated" is your passport to a realm where mischievous Tanuki (raccoon dogs) shape-shift into sake barrels, the ghostly Yuki-onna lures unsuspecting travelers into icy oblivion, and the long-nosed Tengu cause chaos with their supernatural pranks.

This isn't your average encyclopedia of mythical beings. It's a visual feast for the eyes, with stunning illustrations by Kuro Hoshi that bring these enigmatic creatures to life. Each yokai is profiled with detailed descriptions of their origins, their powers (or lack thereof!), and the hilarious, terrifying, or downright bizarre tales they've inspired.

What's inner?

• Kappa: Learn how to avoid being cucumber-napped by these mischievous water imps.

• Kitsune: Uncover the secrets of these cunning fox spirits with nine tails and a penchant for mischief.

• Oni: Discover why these fearsome ogres are surprisingly fond of beans and festivals.

• Yuki-onna: Find out how to escape the icy embrace of this beautiful but deadly snow woman.

Tsukumogami: Meet the everyday objects that come to life when they reach their 100th birthday.

And many more!

Whether you're a seasoned yokai enthusiast or a curious newcomer, "Yokai Illustrated" is your ticket to a world of wonder and weirdness. It's the perfect gift for anyone who loves mythology, folklore, or just plain strange creatures.

Warning: This book may cause uncontrollable laughter, sudden chills, and an insatiable desire to visit Japan in search of yokai. Proceed with caution!
