Description

Have you ever seen a yokai?

Stories about yokai are used in Japan to explain mysterious and magical events. These mythical creatures give a name and a form to the strange and uncanny things happening all around us.

This colorful guide in picture book format is a funny, fast and slightly spooky introduction to the stars of the Japanese yokai world.

The classic tales and descriptions by Fleur Daugey combine with Sande Thommen's delightful illustrations to introduce over 30 wild and supernatural creatures, including:
  • The Kitsune, a freaky fox with paranormal powers
  • The Kasa-obake, a one-eyed one-legged umbrella with a long, slithery tongue
  • Kurokamikiri, a shaggy bearlike beast that sneaks up on you and cuts your hair
  • Nuppeppo, a flabby, wrinkly blob that lives in graveyards and smells of rotten meat
  • Hanako, a bathroom-dwelling ghost girl
  • And many more!
Yokai are out there, lurking among us-creating mischief and mayhem, or in some cases helping us or just having fun. With Japanese Yokai, the next time something eerie or strange happens, you'll know who's responsible!

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

My favourite pick for manga

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
