About This Novel
A crab-like old man, a lady as strong as an ox, a wild cat resurrected from the dead, a wall stained with water to express wishes, a glowing and bouncing watermelon, a singing and dancing leaf, a flickering but undying candle, a monster who stole a knife and returned it specially... The abandoned house in the forest seems peaceful, but those who come here to pursue dreams know the secrets. This book is a collection of Izumi Kyoka's short and medium stories, including four representative works. The work is rooted in Japanese folk customs, inherits the lineage of Edo monsters, and draws on the nested structure of Noh ballads to tell ethereal and bizarre stories, depicting the ugliness, joys and sorrows of the world.
