From the mists of prehistory to the present day, Japan has always had stories of fantastic monsters. There are women with extra mouths in the backs of their heads, water goblins whose favorite food is inside the human anus, elephant-dragons which feed solely on bad dreams, baby zombies, talking foxes, fire-breathing chickens, animated blobs of rotten flesh that run about the streets at night, and the dreaded "hyakki yagyo" "the night parade of one hundred demons"-when all of the yokai leave their homes and parade through the streets of Japan in one massive spectacle of utter pandemonium. What are yokai? Put simply, they are supernatural creatures of Japanese folklore. The word in Japanese is a combination of "yo," meaning "bewitching," and "kai," meaning "strange." The term encompasses monsters, demons, gods ("kami"), ghosts ("bakemono"), magical animals, transformed humans, urban legends, and other strange phenomena. It is a broad and vague term. Nothing exists in the English language that quite does the trick of capturing the essence of yokai. This field guide contains over 100 illustrated entries covering a wide variety of Japanese yokai. Each yokai is described in detail-including its habitat, diet, origin, and legends-based on translations from centuries-old Japanese texts. This book was first funded on Kickstarter in 2011 and then revised in 2015.

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.

In a world where the boundary between the known and unknown is blurred, a young nobleman is forced to close his home in Kyoto and move to the new imperial court in Fukuhara. However, his loyal servant stays behind to look after the house and finds it infested by one hundred yokai who refuse to leave. The nobleman prays to Buddha, and by dawn, the demons are thrown out of the house by the power of religion. But that is only the beginning of his journey. On his way to the house, the nobleman encounters the Hyakki Yagyo, a parade of demons, yokai, and other supernatural beings that flood the town streets at midnight. The monsters overwhelm his carriage, chase away his attendants, and set about destroying the vehicle. Ogres smash the carriage with their mallets, while demons set it on fire with golden fireballs. With Buddha's help, the nobleman manages to escape into a field. Stopping to rest, he prays until the break of dawn. When the light comes, the demons scatter back into the darkness. But as he travels further, he discovers that the Hyakki Yagyo is not just a single event but a thousand-plus-year-old Japanese folkloric tradition in which a series of demons parades-or explodes-into the ordinary human world. The procession is made up of various monsters such as skeletal soldiers riding a human-headed horse; a frog-like demon dominating a badger; furry-headed demons and naked demons. The young nobleman soon realizes that he has been chosen to stop this chaos from spreading further. He must use all his wit and courage to face these supernatural beings and prevent them from causing destruction and havoc in the mortal world. He learns that chanting magical spells such as KA-TA-SHI-HA-YA, E-KA-SE-NI-KU-RI-NI, TA-ME-RU-SA-KE, TE-E-HI, A-SHI-E-HI, WA-RE-SHI-KO-NI-KE-RI will protect him from the demons. As he delves deeper into this mysterious world, the young nobleman encounters a one-eyed, malformed goddess, Benzaiten, accompanied by an elephant, reptilian monsters, and the fierce Buddhist guardian Fudō Myōō holding a sword. He also learns that the Hyakki Yagyo is made up of three types of plots: the type of the nocturnal march across the streets of the capital; the haunted house type; and the type of the demonic egression in the mountains. The young nobleman's journey is full of twists and turns as he battles various demons and yokai, including nurarihyon, otoroshi, and tsukumogami. These creatures test his strength and determination, but he perseveres, knowing that he is the only one who can stop the Hyakki Yagyo from causing chaos and destruction in the mortal world.

In Japan, it is said that there are 8 million kami. These spirits encompass every kind of supernatural creature; from malign to monstrous, demonic to divine, and everything in between. Most of them seem strange and scary-even evil-from a human perspective. They are known by myriad names: bakemono, chimimoryo, mamono, mononoke, obake, oni, and yokai. Yokai live in a world that parallels our own. Their lives resemble ours in many ways. They have societies and rivalries. They eat, sing, dance, play, fight, compete, and even wage war. Normally, we keep to our world and they keep to theirs. However, there are times and places where the boundaries between the worlds thin, and crossing over is possible. The twilight hour-the border between daylight and darkness-is when the boundary between worlds is at its thinnest. Twilight is the easiest time for yokai to cross into this world, or for humans to accidentally cross into theirs. Our world is still awake and active, but the world of the supernatural is beginning to stir. Superstition tells people to return to their villages and stay inside when the sun sets in order to avoid running into demons. This is why in Japanese the twilight hour is called omagatoki: "the hour of meeting evil spirits." This encyclopedia contains over 125 illustrated entries detailing the monsters of Japanese folklore and the myths and magic surrounding them. This book was first funded on Kickstarter in 2013.
