Yokai Monsters and Ghosts in Japan

An illustrated, amusing and entertaining guide written by Andrés Pérez Riobó that unveils the Japanese mythological beings.

Revised edition with a new design. Since the beginning of time, the Japanese have lived with incredible creatures that inhabit a mysterious and hidden world; grotesque beings that, on occasions, cross the invisible frontier and enter the real world. These creatures of infinite and strange forms are the yokai: gods who have fallen into disgrace either through the oblivion of humans or through their own degeneration. But, despite the first impression they may make, the yokai are not necessarily evil or vengeful beings. They sometimes come to the rescue of people in danger, help people in their work, bring fortune or become playmates for children. Yokai are beings with many faces, dangerous and violent at times, funny and friendly at others.
