Eerie tales of Japanese goblins, ghosts and magic beautifully illustrated in a deluxe collector's edition!
This collection of fifteen chilling tales brings to life a world where the supernatural and earthly realms are seamlessly intertwined. 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-colour 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.
