Reviews
"This compendium catalogs 100 creatures from Japanese tradition, illustrating each with vintage woodblock prints, inked handscrolls, more. Some of the entries will be familiar to fans of contemporary manga and anime: Gge Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen series, for one, incorporates numerous yokai (demons), and Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli oeuvre includes depictions of bakeneko (supernatural cats, My Neighbor Tototora ), yamauba (a mountain hag, Spirited Away ), and others." -- Publishers Weekly, "Finding one's bearings in this wealth of fiends can be a challenge though, especially for Western readers who are not familiar with the imagery and symbolism of Japanese art. This is where Marks' latest volume, Japanese Yokai and Other Supernatural Beings, comes in handy: It describes 100 of the country's most ghastly creatures in great detail. It is also lavishly illustrated, primarily with ukiyo-e woodblock prints, but also with the odd painting here and there....It is an excellent introduction to the field." -- The Japan Times

Synopsis
Superb Yokai images from the world's leading museums and private collections! Japan's vast pantheon of supernatural creatures includes demons ( yokai ), monsters, ogres ( oni ), ghosts ( yurei ) and magicians--mythical beings from folklore and popular culture which continue to thrill readers of traditional stories and manga today. This richly illustrated book by Andreas Marks, the leading authority on Japanese woodblock prints, presents authentic illustrations and descriptions of 100 different creatures, including: Bakeneko : Monster cats in human form who lick lamp oil and prey on humans born in the year of the Rat Han'nya : Female demons with sharp and pointed horns, metallic eyes and a smirking smile Hihi : Large ape-like monsters who live in the mountains and have superhuman strength, enabling them to kidnap and kill humans Mikoshi-nyudo : Yokai with an enormously extended necks who appear only at night And many more! The striking visual examples in this book are drawn from the rich canon of early Japanese prints, books, and paintings--sourced from leading museums, libraries and private collections worldwide. They show the "original" forms and appearances of the creatures which form the basis for all subsequent depictions. Also included are two long handscrolls from the Minneapolis Institute of Art ( A Collection of Monsters and Night Parade of One Hundred Demons ) which are reproduced here for the very first time.
