Synopsis

"Japanese Yokai Scroll" contains more than 150 kinds of Yokai from eight major regions in Japan (Hokkaido, Kanto, Tohoku, Chubu, Kinki, Shikoku, Sanin-Sanyo, Kyushu and Okinawa) and has made detailed classifications. According to the appearance of monsters, they are divided into: human form, animal form, and alien form; according to the different places where they appear, they are divided into: mountain and forest monsters, river and sea monsters, settlement monsters, and residential monsters; according to the monster's abilities: strength, power, threat, weirdness, and popularity, the monsters are given five levels of evaluation. This book collects legends and folklore from all over Japan, interweaves a large number of color illustrations with ancient monster paintings, and presents the appearance of various Japanese monsters. They are still lurking around the world. I hope that readers will be in awe, use their imagination, and enjoy this unpredictable world of monsters.

Reader comments

This book is so interesting! It provides a detailed introduction to Japan's various yokai, as well as colorful illustrations and ancient yokai drawings, which really opened my eyes. The authors Kazuhiko Komatsu and Yoshiyuki Iikura must have in-depth research on Japanese monster culture to write such a professional book. Moreover, the classification and evaluation of monsters in the book are very creative, which gave me a new understanding of monsters. I think this book is not only suitable for people who like monster culture, but also for friends who are interested in Japanese culture.

Looking for a Study List for OC People

I would like to read a book similar to "Jungian Psychology". Are there any OC references or books to study? I prefer Jungian psychology/personality typology. Others can also be recommended. Religion, writing skills, mysticism, psychology, and design can all be recommended.

Is There Any Material/reference Book for Designing Various Costumes for OC?

I would like to read a book similar to "500 Examples of Women's Clothing Style Design·Dress". Costumes, Lolita, etc. Are all available. The similar books I chose were actually written casually and I didn't read them carefully, but they were related to clothing. I wanted to see if there are any better and more convenient ones.
