"Yôkai" is the generic term for supernatural creatures in Japanese folklore, the first depictions of which date back to the medieval period . This group is subdivided into countless fluctuating categories, some of which may or may not be related to the Shinto and Buddhist religions. While this book aims to present the astonishing drawings that these creatures inspired Shigeru Mizuki, it was appropriate to occasionally provide some additional information.
The work is therefore accompanied by an index which specifies the nature of the yôkai represented, as well as the time and context which saw their birth, these points explaining the images.
