Yokai Attack! is your one-stop guide to Japan’s traditional creepy-crawlies. Not a single yokai was created for the pages of Yokai Attack! Their stories were taken from generations of Japanese fairytales and folk stories.
Yokai are ethereal sorts of beings, and nearly always encountered at night; everyone has their own take on how they might look in real life and what sorts of characteristics and abilities they might have. Yokai Attack! is a collection of data and descriptions from a variety of sources, including vintage art, historical records, and microfilms of legendary yokai chronicler Sekien Toriyama’s 18th century texts stored in the National Diet Library in Tokyo. All new illustrations detail the potential visible appearance of each yokai. And alongside each illustration is a series of “data points,” allowing you to take in each yokai’s important characteristics at a glance – handy for any potential close encounters.
