About This Novel

There are a large number of legends and stories about ghosts and spirits circulating in Japan. These folk tales passed down orally by the local people are not only an important part of Japanese culture, but also an indispensable source of creation for Japanese literati and scholars. This series of books selects classic ghost stories from Japanese literary masters such as Koizumi Yakumo, Tanaka Kontaro, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, etc., Such as the legend of human facial sores, fox fairy repaying kindness, mountain spirits, toad shrines, ghost waterfalls, etc. It almost contains the most widely spread and classic folk tales in Japan. In the writings of the masters, these stories are either sad, humorous, warning, or allegorical. They are colorful and varied in form. They are all filled with a strong unique flavor of traditional Japanese literature and a strong local flavor of Fuso. They have had a profound and significant impact on later generations, and have been adapted and re-created in various forms by later generations. Famous writers such as Kyogoku Natsuhiko, Yumezuku Tapir, and Tanizaki Junichiro were all deeply influenced by these works.
