General Description Why are yokai, which are supposed to be scary, drawn so charmingly? Unraveling the mystery of yokai paintings, the last bastion of Japanese art history.Due to its popular appeal and caricature-like or satirical expressions, ``yokai paintings'' have not been considered as a theme in art history until now. However, in Japan, it is a wide-ranging field that has been familiar to everyone from children to adults since ancient times, and it is also an important subject that is closely related to Japan's unique indigenous culture and religion, such as nature worship and folklore of each region. This project provides an opportunity to reconsider the characteristic aspects of Japanese art, such as laughter and play, by revisiting the genealogy of ``yokai paintings,'' which have not been talked about as mainstream in art history.Yokai Manga [Volume 1] Yokai competition editionThis book contains a wealth of yokai paintings (picture scrolls) drawn from the Heian period to the early Meiji period, and traces the origin of yokai paintings, which have rarely been attempted in art history due to their popularity and caricature-like expressions, and deciphers their lineage.Preface: Norio TsujiIncluded works: ``Hyakki Yagyō Emaki (Matsui Bunko)'' / Toriyama Sekien ``Gazu Hyakki Yagyō'' / Yoshimitsu ``Hyakki no Zu'' / ``Bakemonozin Emaki'' / Tosa Mitsuoki ``Hyakki Yagyō no Zu'' and others.---Yokai Manga vol.1Due to its popular appeal and caricaturish, satirical content, yokai-ga (literally, pictures of monstrous creatures – yokai) have been treated as a minor current within Japanese art history.Enjoyed by the common people of Japan since ancient times, yokai-ga have been valued also for their intimate associations with the nature beliefs and folk traditions that are the native culture and religion of Japan.This publishing project is reconsidering the lineage of yokai-ga in order to offer a fresh look at the distinctive aspects of comicality and humor in Japanese art.
