Something Wicked from Japan: Ghosts, Demons & Yokai in Ukiyo-E Masterpieces

I didn’t like the dust cover having filthy hand prints all over it that were unable to be brushed off. I didn’t like how my message to the seller was not responded. Disappointing experiences make buying online regretful.

Great book with beautiful designs and interesting texts. A must have for those who like ukyo-e

まるで美術館を訪問しているような、とてもダイナミックなレイアウトで、ワクワクします。とてもおすすめです。

Si te interesa el folclor japonés este libro te será de mucha ayuda Tiene ilustraciones de muy buena calidad con información de muchos yokai y otras criaturas

If you wanna see some creepy and beautiful japanese ukyo-e woodcut prints and you love ghost stories, this book is for you. The prints come first, they’re on a beautiful paper and the quality is amazing. Next is the story that explains the print. They’re super interesting and a great starting point if you wanna learn about japanese folklore or to get inspired some scary, yet beautiful art. You also get a little info about the authors but it’s very brief. Brilliant for art inspiration. My only draw back is that I expected the most famous japanese demons and monsters to be there, however it’s a collection of the best prints from the occult instead. This is probs my bad tho, misunderstanding the contents. But If you’re looking for the most famous japanese monsters, head to youtube instead. (The book is still super cool tho)
