"A fascinating, scholarly, beautifully illustrated, miscellanea of strange beasts, quelling demons, and otherworldly apparitions. Japandemonium Illustrated will instruct you, amaze you, and transport you to a quintessential realm of Japanese lore." — Guillermo del Toro, filmmaker "Such beautiful nightmares — why bother to wake up? Long before Pokémon took to the streets, the Japanese saw monsters everywhere and in everything. Scholarly without being monstrously studious, Sekien's classic compendia of outlandish everyday demons compiled in this one fiendishly clever volume is sure to enchant even the most rational readers (poor misguided souls!) I sleep less now that I recognize the tenjo-name behind the spots on the ceiling." — Alfred Birnbaum, editor/translator of Monkey Brain Sushi Japanese folklore abounds with bizarre creatures collectively referred to as the yokai ― the ancestors of the monsters populating Japanese film, literature, manga, and anime. Artist Toriyama Sekien (1712–88) was the first to compile illustrated encyclopedias detailing the appearances and habits of these creepy-crawlies from myth and folklore. Ever since their debut over two centuries ago, the encyclopedias have inspired generations of Japanese artists. Japandemonium Illustrated represents the very first time they have ever been available in English. This historically groundbreaking compilation includes complete translations of all four of Sekien's yokai masterworks: the 1776 Gazu Hyakki Yagyō ( The Illustrated Demon Horde's Night Parade ), the 1779 Konjaku Gazu Zoku Hyakki ( The Illustrated Demon Horde from Past and Present, Continued ), the 1781 Konjaku Hyakki Shū ( More of the Demon Horde from Past and Present ), and the 1784 Hyakki Tsurezure Bukuro ( A Horde of Haunted Housewares ). The collection is complemented by a detailed introduction and helpful annotations for modern-day readers. Yokai Doctor 4.

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 important 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. Together with Yurei Attack! and Ninja Attack!, Yokai Attack! is the last guidebook to Japan you'll ever need. Yokai Magic. Author : Margaret L.

Over a century ago, an evil magician cast a curse on her, and a wolf-like demon conjured by the curse still hunts her. Because Val is the one who broke the protective spell, that dark magic endangers her, too. She must turn for help to the last person she wants to get involved with, her former high-school boyfriend, now an officer in the Navy. Together they search for a way to vanquish the threat from the spirit realm, while facing the attraction they thought they'd long since put behind them. Yo Kai Watch Strategy Guide.

Author : Takayoshi Yamamura Publisher : Channel View Publications Release Date : 2020-01-14 Genre: Business & Economics Pages : ISBN 10 : 9781845417246. This is the first book to apply the concept of ‘contents tourism’ in a global context and to establish an international and interdisciplinary framework for contents tourism research. The term ‘contents tourism’ gained official recognition in Japan when it was defined by the Japanese government in 2005, and it has been characterised as ‘travel behaviour motivated fully or partially by narratives, characters, locations, and other creative elements of popular culture forms including film, television dramas, manga, anime, novels and computer games’. The book builds on previous research from Japan and explores three main themes of contents tourism: ‘the Contentsization of Literary Worlds’, ‘Tourist Behaviours at “Sacred Sites” of Contents Tourism’ and ‘Contents Tourism as Pilgrimage’ and draws together these key themes to propose a set of policy implications for achieving successful and sustainable contents tourism in the 21st century. Doctors of Empire. Author : Hoi-eun Kim Publisher : University of Toronto Press Release Date : 2014-07-31 Genre: History Pages : 272 ISBN 10 : 9781442660489. The history of German medicine has undergone intense scrutiny because of its indelible connection to Nazi crimes. What is less well known is that Meiji Japan adopted German medicine as its official model in 1869. In Doctors of Empire, Hoi-eun Kim recounts the story of the almost 1,200 Japanese medical students who rushed to German universities to learn cutting-edge knowledge from the world leaders in medicine, and of the dozen German physicians who were invited to Japan to transform the country’s medical institutions and education. Shifting fluently between German, English, and Japanese sources, Kim’s book uses the colourful lives of these men to examine the impact of German medicine in Japan from its arrival to the pinnacle of its influence and its abrupt but temporary collapse at the outbreak of the First World War. Transnational history at its finest, Doctors of Empire not only illuminates the German origins of modern medical science in Japan but also reinterprets the nature of German imperialism in East Asia.

'Japandemonium Illustrated: The Yokai Encyclopedias of Toriyama Sekien': Excavating Edo's ancient memes with the power of 'yokai' Beginning with 2008’s “Yokai Attack!,” translators Hiroko Yoda and Matt Alt have been on a quest to bring an aspect of Japanese culture that has lurked in the shadows to the world at large. Yōkai , the ghouls, goblins, specters and sprites of Japanese folklore, are shape-shifters, each with a unique modus operandi: Some make it their business to blow out lanterns on moonless nights, while others might manifest as floating balls of flame. Yōkai have been kept alive, so to speak, in the modern era by the works of manga artist Shigeru Mizuki, and more recently by the “Yokai Watch” franchise of video games, manga and animation. With their latest effort, Yoda and Alt have produced the first-ever annotated English translation of a late 18th-century illustrated yōkai compendium that is at once the undisputed cornerstone of the subject and a kind of Rosetta stone for the broader cultural milieu of its time. “Japandemonium Illustrated: The Yokai Encyclopedias of Toriyama Sekien” collects four volumes inked between 1776 and 1784 by Toriyama Sekien, an influential genius, largely unheralded in Western scholarship, whose students went on to lead the vanguard of Japanese art. On their surface, the books are a parade of otherworldly creatures and phenomena, such as the “Hihi,” a fierce mountain-dwelling beast that preys on apex predators, or “Shinkiro,” a name given to a mirage seen over the ocean’s horizon. Each page features Sekien’s rendering of a given yōkai and a translation of his text where it appears, while translators’ notes provide crucial context. Each book in the collection also features fascinating introductions by Sekien and his contemporaries. It quickly becomes clear that this is much more than a mere catalog of the paranormal. Sekien’s words and images teem with what were then contemporary cultural references spanning the Chinese classics, Buddhist scripture, noh plays, poetry, and a palette of folk sayings and idioms, all of which are subject to his unique brand of wordplay, posing a challenge for the translators. “Japanese is a highly contextual language to begin with, but these books are super-contextual. Contextual on steroids. And they were written by and for extremely literate urbanites,” says Alt. As the pair worked, it dawned on them that Sekien’s encyclopedias were largely misunderstood in the West as demonology. “The fact is, it’s not,” Alt says. “What it really is, is more like literary parody or literary homage, and it was intended as entertainment for people back then. They would read it in the same way that people today would read a New Yorker cartoon. … Some of the most moving and touching moments of us working on this were when we basically reassembled a joke that we knew nobody had laughed at in 200 years.” The translation process took about one year and saw Yoda and Alt travel the globe consulting scholars and sources to crack what Yoda calls the “Sekien code.” Yoda says she understood the enormity and importance of the undertaking early on, and felt both daunted and thrilled by it. “When we were pitching the book ‘Yokai Attack!” I knew that all this stuff, now it’s called ‘Cool Japan,’ but all this stuff went abroad, except for the yōkai concept. Nobody outside Japan knew yōkai,” she recalls. “I kind of knew this was (really) something. If you like yōkai, this is it .” “In a very real sense the book is a time capsule of 1770s Edo,” Alt says, using the old name for Tokyo. “All of these things that were happening, all of the books that were being read, all of these different news stories and events and people — it’s like a window back 240 years into what made Edo and Edoites tick. And that’s what makes Sekien’s books fine literature.” The pair hope that by delivering Sekien into English, other translators will be inspired to put him into new languages. “We would love to see Sekien get his due after all these centuries,” Alt says, pointing out that Utagawa Hiroshige and Kitagawa Utamaro, both students of Sekien, went on to change the art world. “Van Gogh and people like that would see Utamaro’s illustrations of geisha and kabuki performers. It literally changed the direction of Western art, and Sekien is definitely a pivotal character in that transformation,” he says. Being rather large, “Japandemonium” is the kind of book best poured over slowly, preferably at home. The often intricate images have room to breathe and the text is trim, making it a genuine page-turner. It’s the kind of book that, opened to a random point, will always present some hitherto unnoticed detail, and in the manner of the best entertainment, it can be enjoyed by children and scholars alike for vastly different reasons. In a 2005 interview with The Japan Times, manga artist Mizuki, who was born in 1922 and took yōkai quite seriously, mused that electric lights were the cause of their disappearance. “The darkness, with a touch of light like that of paper lanterns and oil lamps, was great for yōkai, and it inspired people to imagine yōkai,” he said. With “Japandemonium,” Yoda and Alt have done more than their bit to keep yōkai alive, in part because, illuminating though it is, the book still retains a good deal of shadow. --> --> --> In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.
