Supernatural Tales from Japan (Ghosts, Goblins, Demons and Magic)

Eerie tales of Japanese goblins, ghosts and magic—beautifully illustrated by contemporary Japanese yokai artist Sakyu!

This collection of fifteen chilling tales brings to life a world where the supernatural and earthly realms are seamlessly entwined. The ghosts, goblins and magical creatures in its pages are by turns mischievous, terrifying, protective and tender. Included in this anthology are:

• "The Badger Haunted Temple": A brazen group of friends attempts to rid a temple of a gluttonous, shape-shifting goblin who has taken up residence there
• "A Cherry Flower Idyll": A young man falls in love with the ethereal spirit of a cherry blossom tree and vows to find her in the mortal world
• "The Story of Mimi Nashi Hoichi": A blind bard is summoned to recite the tale of a famous battle to the ghosts of its victims, only to find that his own life is at risk
• And twelve other supernatural tales, including several that rarely appear in English!

Passed down through generations, these classic tales are beautifully retold by Lafcadio Hearn and Yei Theodora Ozaki, two great interpreters of Japanese folk traditions. This volume features a deluxe hardcover binding and sixteen all new, full-color illustrations by contemporary Japanese yokai artist Sakyu. It will be treasured by fans of yokai and Japanese culture, as well as anyone who enjoys a good ghost story.
