The first illustrated collection dedicated to Japanese ghosts, this book brings together the most impressive representations of yokai spirits, the yurei. The specter of Oiwa, with a face distorted by poison, the beautiful Yuki-onna, who kills her lovers with a kiss, poor Okiku, thrown into a well by her master, skeletons, ghosts of warriors who died at sea , without burial, samurai drunk with resentment... All tirelessly pursue the men and women who wanted their end and the unfortunates who cross their path. An integral part of Japanese culture, these prints and paintings inspire horror films, mangas and novels. We will not be surprised to discover the evocative power of the works of Hiroshige, Hokusai, Kunisada, Kuniyoshi, Kyosai, Toyokuni, Yoshitoshi... brought together here.
