Description

Welcome to the wonderful and scary and silly world of Yokai! The Definitive Yokai Field Guide introduces young readers to the fantastically fascinating world of Japanese folklore. Universally beloved cartoonist and Eisner Hall of Fame inductee Shigeru Mizuki’s passion for researching and writing about Japan’s yokai knows no bounds. In this perfect companion to Mizuki’s Kitaro comics and art books, kids and kids at heart can now discover this magical world and its many peculiar creatures all on their own. The book that captivated Japan for decades as a perennial bestseller can now inspire readers the world over. Bursting with frightfully fun content—including 80 yokai profiles—The Definitive Yokai Field Guide also boasts a map of where to find different yokai around the world, and the exciting comic “The Yokai of Obobe Swamp.” Mizuki’s whimsical and mischievous approach to cataloging these one-of-a-kind creatures found nowhere else is sure to enlighten and amaze fans of both the natural—and supernatural—world. In fact, it might just be the perfect gift for current and future folklorists, ghost hunters and myth busters to boot! Translated by Mizuki scholar and yokai aficionado Zack Davisson, the most famous all-ages guide to yokai becomes available in English for the very first time.
