Demonology of Japan. Goblin Kappa, Lights of Kitsunebi, and the Dream Eater

Japan — a country where reality intertwines with myths, and in the shadows of ancient temples and dense forests, mysterious beings are hidden. The book "Demonology of Japan" invites you on an exciting journey through the folklore of the Land of the Rising Sun, where demons can bring both misfortune and good luck, and gods inhabit every stone and stream.

The author has lived in Japan for decades and has deeply immersed herself in its culture, so she now shares stories about yokai, kami, and ghosts — from cunning oni to mischievous zashiki-warashi. You will learn how foxes-kitsune deceive people, how water-dwelling kappa steal their souls, where trees and animals with human faces reside, and which spirits bring wealth while others bring ruin.
