Japanese Demons. Yokai and Others

According to the beliefs of the Japanese, the forests and fields, mountains and rivers, and even human settlements of the Land of the Rising Sun are not free from the presence of the mysterious tribe of yokai. Who are they? What is the one-legged umbrella that jumped out of the darkness, gleaming with a single eye? And the supernatural beauty with a toothy mouth on… the back of her head? All of this is yokai. They are incredibly diverse. These are supernatural beings, yet quite material. Some are deadly dangerous to humans, some are quite friendly, and most are neutral, although they love to play with people in ways that can be quite unpleasant for them. You will learn about the strange and diverse magical creatures of the Japanese islands, united under the name "yokai," from this unusually written book.
