About Author

For over three decades I have been exploring the folklore of Japan, particularly things considered mysterious, monstrous, or transcendent. Combining historical and literary analysis with ethnographic fieldwork, my research strives to understand people�s lived experiences�both the everyday and the extraordinary. I have written extensively about y?kai�fantastic creatures, monsters, and related phenomena�but the more I learn about them, the more I am amazed by how much more there is to discover. Since 2022, I have been the �Y?kai Navigator� for an NHK World documentary TV series called �Y?KAI: Exploring Hidden Japanese Folklore.�

Product Description

Monsters, ghosts, fantastic beings, and supernatural phenomena of all sorts haunt the folklore and popular culture of Japan. Broadly labeled�yokai,�these creatures come in infinite shapes and sizes, from�tengu�mountain goblins and�kappa�water spirits to shape-shifting foxes and long-tongued ceiling-lickers. Currently popular in anime, manga, film, and computer games, many yokai originated in local legends, folktales, and regional ghost stories.
