Monsters, spirits, fantastic beings, and supernatural creatures haunt the folklore and popular culture of Japan. Broadly labeled ykai, they appear in many forms, from tengu mountain goblins and kappa water sprites, to shape-shifting kitsune foxes and long-tongued ceiling-lickers. Popular today in anime, manga, film, and video games, many ykai originated in local legends, folktales, and regional ghost stories.

Revised and expanded, this second edition features fifty new illustrations, including an all-new ykai gallery of stunning color images tracing the visual history of ykai across centuries. In clear and accessible language, Michael Dylan Foster unpacks the cultural and historical contexts of ykai, interpreting their varied meanings and introducing people who have pursued them through the ages.
