Yokai Attack! : The Japanese Monster Survival Guide
Author: Hiroko Yoda
Yokai Attack! is a nightmare-inducing one-stop guide to Japan's traditional monsters and creepy-crawlies. Yokai are ethereal beings, like ghosts, typically encountered at night; everyone has their own interpretation of their appearance and unique characteristics.
This book is the result of extensive research, including data and descriptions from various sources, such as microfilms of eighteenth-century illustrations from the National Diet Library in Tokyo. It provides detailed information on almost 50 of these amazing creatures for the first time in English.
Illustrations by the talented Tatsuya Morino depict the potential appearance of each yokai. Each illustration is accompanied by a series of "data points," highlighting significant features at a glance—especially useful for any potential close encounters.
Yokai Attack! will undoubtedly convince you that Japan's tradition of fascinating monsters is extensive and far from being mere history.
Series: Book 1 of 3 in the Yokai Attack! series. Other titles include Ninja Attack! and Yurei Attack!.
