MORE

Yokai Attack! is a nightmare-inducing one-stop guide to Japan's traditional monsters and creepy-crawlies. Yokai are ethereal sorts of beings, like ghosts, nearly always encountered at night; everyone has their own take on how they might look in real life and what sorts of specific characteristics and abilities they might have. This book is the result of long hours spent poring over data and descriptions from a variety of sources, including microfilms of eighteenth-century illustrations from the National Diet Library in Tokyo, in order to bring you detailed information on almost 50 of these amazing creatures for the first time in English. Illustrations, created by the talented Tatsuya Morino, detail the potential appearance of each yokai. Alongside each illustration is a series of "data points," with each yokai's significant features at a glance—especially handy for any potential close encounters. Yokai Attack! will surely convince you that Japan's tradition of fascinating monsters is a long one—yet far from being history. Book 1 of 3 in the Yokai Attack! series. Others include Ninja Attack! and Yurei Attack!. 外国人のための妖怪サバイバルガイド 妖怪、それは日本の愛すべきモンスター。 アニメに漫画に映画、妖怪エンタメは数あれど、外国人の為の妖怪サバイバルガイドはこれしかありません！ 名前（正しい発音表記、英語の意味付）、身長、体重、移動方法、見た目の特徴、好きな食べ物、武器、弱点、生息数、生息地・・・49もの妖怪を白昼の下にさらします。 そしてフルカラーの似顔絵（イラスト）付。 日本好きな外国人はもちろん、日本を訪れる外国人は身を守るために読んでおくべきでしょう。
