The Book of Yokai, Expanded Second Edition: Mysterious Creatures of Japanese Fol

Description: The Book of Yokai, Expanded Second Edition by Michael Dylan Foster, Shinonome Kijin Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Significantly expanded and updated—a lively excursion into Japanese folklore and its increasing influence within global popular culture. 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. The Book of Ykai invites readers to examine how people create, transmit, and collect folklore, and how they make sense of the mysteries in the world around them. 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. Author Biography Michael Dylan Foster is Professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of California, Davis. He is author of many works on Japanese folklore, including Pandemonium and Parade: Japanese Monsters and the Culture of Ykai.
