Description: Yokai Attack! is a nightmare - inducing one - stop guide to Japan's traditional monsters and creepy - crawlies. Yokai are ethereal sorts of beings like ghosts nearly always encountered at night; everyone has their own take on how they might look in real life and what sorts of specific characteristics and abilities they might have. This book is the result of long hours spent poring over data and descriptions from a variety of sources including microfilms of eighteenth - century illustrations from the National Diet Library in Tokyo in order to bring you detailed information on almost 50 of these amazing creatures for the first time in English. Illustrations created by the talented Tatsuya Morino detail the potential appearance of each yokai. Alongside each illustration is a series of "data points " with each yokai's significant features at a glance especially handy for any potential close encounters. Yokai Attack! will surely convince you that Japan's tradition of fascinating monsters is a long one yet far from being history. Together with Yurei Attack! and Ninja Attack! Yokai Attack! is the last guidebook to Japan you'll ever need.
