Celebrating Japan's unique print culture of monsters and
ghoulsDuring the Pax Tokugawa--Japan's 300-year period of
prosperity and peace from 1600 to 1900--epic tales about the wars
of the past circulated and were adapted into spine-tingling games.
One Hundred Candles, in which a group of friends swap scary stories
on the eve of a full moon in the summer, is perhaps the most famous
of the genre, legend dictates that the storytelling culminates in
the appearance of a spirit. Yokai follows the spirit of this
macabre game, sharing 200 works of Japanese mythological imagery
from the 18th and 19th centuries. The book's collation of prints,
books, clothes, weapons, swords, samurai armor, 77 precious netsuke
and a 33-foot scroll coalesce into a portrait of Japan's
storied--and sometimes spooky--past.Artists include: Yoshu
Chikanobu, Katsushika Hokusai, Eisen Keisai, Utagawa Kunisada,
Kawanabe Kyosai, Tsukioka Settei, Kitagawa Utamaro, Utagawa
Yoshitora and Utagawa Yoshitoshi.
