Yokai

Mutant spirits, fearful vengeful entities... behind today's global obsession with manga and anime lie the monsters that have populated the imagination of traditional Japanese since the 16th century. Yokai, in its over 500 pages, collects an epic compendium of these fearsome creatures, with illustrations so enlarged and detailed as to make readers live an unprecedented experience of immersion in the atmospheres of this ancient mythology, making every brushstroke of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi visible and other artists of the Edo era (17th-19th centuries). Following, in the same series, Hokusai Manga and Shunga, this imposing 512-page work presents the greatest masterpieces chosen from the traditional works preserved at the Miyoshi Mononoke Museum, the only museum in Japan and in the world dedicated to yokai.
