Product specs

Yokai Ghosts by Philippe Charlier explores the eerie, mischievous and sometimes tragic spirits of Japanese folklore through historic woodblock prints. Works by artists including Hokusai, Hiroshige and Utamaro show how yōkai were imagined visually, while the text connects those images with beliefs about death, haunting, shapeshifting and everyday life.

Key features

  • Features more than 100 colour images drawn from Japanese printmaking traditions.
  • Organised around different spirits and types of yōkai.
  • Connects historic imagery with later Japanese horror, manga and popular culture.
  • Special hardback production includes coloured edges and closing straps.
