This extensive collection explores the fascinating pantheon of Japanese supernatural beings, featuring demons (yōkai), spirits and apparitions (yūrei), figures from kabuki theater, sorcerers (yōjutsu-shi), devils (oni), and vengeful souls (onryō).

Each entity is illustrated with examples from original Japanese woodblock prints, books, and paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries, sourced from museums, libraries, and private collections worldwide.
