In Japan, they are said to appear wherever fear takes hold - in forests, wells, shadowy rooms, temples, and caves. These strange beings are known as yokai, supernatural creatures born from the imagination of Japanese folklore.
Yokai take many forms: colossal beasts rising from the earth, enchanted animals such as foxes and badgers, everyday objects brought to life, and mischievous spirits that blur the line between the natural and supernatural. Their imagery became widely known in the 19th century through woodblock prints and continues to influence Japanese culture today.
This beautifully produced volume explores the world of yokai through the works of master printmakers including Yoshitoshi, Kuniyoshi, Kunisada, and Sekien. Author Charlier examines their myths, habitats, and symbolism, revealing how these eerie figures reflect human fears and imagination.
Finished with a silk cover, coloured page edges, Swiss and Japanese tube binding, and ribbon ties, the book itself is a striking object. A captivating introduction to Japan’s supernatural folklore and a thoughtful gift for lovers of Japanese art and culture.

What’s in the box?
Our products are made with love and care in Japan, but it’s with you where their story lives on. And for that to happen, we need to make sure they arrive with you in one piece! We carefully wrap each item in bubble wrap and traditional Japanese newspapers (you’ll often find a Japanese crossword or sudoku to solve!). You’ll also receive a short guide on how to care for and cherish your new tableware. Sustainability is important to us and we’re working hard on ways to keep items safe while being kind to the planet, too.
A beautiful small dish - exactly what I wanted. It’s charming and a beautiful blue. Delivery was very rapid and the dish was carefully wrapped in Japanese newspaper and bubble wrap. Very pleased!
