Mononoke - Hour of Evil Spirits

Third volume of the series dedicated to the world of the supernatural in traditional Japan, this phantasmagorical repertoire of evil spirits deals with the most repugnant and evil beings of the Japanese magical universe, the mononoke, who inhabit a reality parallel to ours: despite the protection exercised by hosts of magicians and priests against the nefarious influences of these vengeful creatures, there are places and moments in which the border between the two worlds becomes more fragile and it is possible to cross it.

In border lands, where civilization gives way to wild and impenetrable nature, it is easier to stumble upon these beings.

Men are masters of the day, but at dusk and at night the supernatural takes over and evil spirits are more powerful than ever; even the moments of transition between the seasons, such as solstices and equinoxes, are shrouded in the mystery of the occult.

And it is amazing how this set of superstitions, and the resulting limitations, are still a widespread concern among large sections of the Japanese population today.
