Dalla quarta di copertina
Praise for the First Edition of The Book of Yokai:
"Foster creates engagingly rich portraits of yokai. . . . Kijin’s illustrations draw on Japanese artistic traditions to depict each creature’s personality and visual quirks, making this field guide a delight for researchers, enthusiasts and the uninitiated alike. . . . Seen this way, even the most horrific yokai seems beautiful."?Times Literary Supplement
"Foster . . . analyses and catalogues hundreds of yokai and tells many stories . . . enhanced by witty illustrations by Shinonome Kijin. . . . A fascinating and charming compendium."?Literary Review
"An interesting cultural text highly recommended to Japanophiles or aficionados of the otherworldly."?Foreword Reviews
"Highly recommend. . . . A fascinating read."?Reference Reviews
"Michael Dylan Foster draws the reader into a haunting tale of the uncanny from the first page."?Journal of Religion in Japan
"The Book of Yokai is a fascinating and enormously informative study. . . . Foster's narrative is smooth and often humorous. The book is easy to read, and at the same time immensely informative on the complicated and varied ways yokai have existed throughout Japanese history."?Western Folklore
"Readers will be fascinated (as well as teased) by the kaleidoscope of creatures, malignant and benign."?International Institute for Asian Studies

Paperback. Condizione: new. Kijin, Shinonome (illustratore). Paperback. Significantly expanded and updateda lively excursion into Japanese folklore and its increasing influence within global popular culture. Monsters, spirits, fantastic beings, and supernatural creatures haunt the folklore and popular culture of Japan. Broadly labeled yokai, they appear in many forms, from tengu mountain goblins and kappa water sprites, to shape-shifting kitsune foxes and long-tongued ceiling-lickers. Popular today in anime, manga, film, and video games, many yokai originated in local legends, folktales, and regional ghost stories. The Book of Yokai invites readers to examine how people create, transmit, and collect folklore, and how they make sense of the mysteries in the world around them. Revised and expanded, this second edition features fifty new illustrations, including an all-new yokai gallery of stunning color images tracing the visual history of yokai across centuries. In clear and accessible language, Michael Dylan Foster unpacks the cultural and historical contexts of yokai, interpreting their varied meanings and introducing people who have pursued them through the ages. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780520403888
