Making a Japanese Yokai PART2
Coming from the UK, most of the ghost stories I grew up with were about fog-filled London streets or former members of the royal family who met a grisly end - certainly not "cute" little monsters eating cucumbers like a Kappa. I love this side of Japan, especially the horror ukiyoe wood-block prints you see. There is such a clear line from these to the creative output in manga and games, so it's good to see the tradition living on.
