Description
Japanese folklore is a rich source of terrifying supernatural creatures, as depicted in the iconic Ukiyo-e woodblock prints of the Edo period. This book brings together 70 Yurei, Oni, Kaijin, and Yokai, each with a brief introduction in both Japanese and English. The accompanying 120 Ukiyo-e art pieces, created by masters such as Hokusai, Hiroshige, and Kuniyoshi, provide a vivid and unsettling image of these supernatural beings.
