About the book

Yokai Monsters explores the strange beings of Japanese folklore through the work of celebrated woodblock printmakers. Philippe Charlier considers animal spirits, haunted objects and other supernatural figures, tracing the stories and human concerns associated with them.

Thematically arranged chapters place the creatures in their cultural and historical setting. Prints by artists including Hokusai, Kuniyoshi, Yoshitoshi and Kunisada show how these beings took visual form, with connections to the imagery of later manga, anime and horror cinema.
