Yokai - Paolo Linetti
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. Yokai follows the spirit of this macabre game, sharing 200 works of Japanese mythological imagery from the 18th and 19th centuries. 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.
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
