Discover the wonderfully eerie supernatural beings of Japanese lore in this magnificent hardcover edition which features an elegant silk coating as well as coloured edges and closing straps.
Yōkai ghosts are a significant aspect of Japanese culture. In turns terrifying, playful and mischievous, they can take the form of malevolent spirits, seeking a place in the afterlife, or shapeshifters tricking humans with wisdom and sometimes cruelty.

There’s the specter of Oiwa, her face distorted by poison, as depicted by Hokusai; Toyohara Kunichika’s haunting interpretation of Okiku, a tragic ghost with a tale of betrayal and revenge; and Yoshitoshi’s dramatic image of a samurai bravely confronting a hideous ghost. Throughout the book, readers will discover how the intricate details of woodblock prints allowed artists to exaggerate features and create dramatic effects that enhanced the portrayal of yōkai.
These prints also reveal aspects of daily life, folklore, and spiritual beliefs of the period, offering a window into Japan’s history and pointing to the origins of manga, horror films, and literature.

Yokai Monsters
9783791394220
€34,99
This exquisitely produced volume explores Japan’s most haunting, terrifying and mysterious monsters through the eyes of its greatest printmakers.
Japanese folklore teems with strange and spectral beings— yōkai. They slither from wells, creep through forests, or inhabit forgotten household objects. These creatures have long reflected deep cultural anxieties and obsessions, and their influence endures today, pulsing through manga, anime, and horror cinema like walking nightmares haunting our daily lives.
In the follow up to his bestselling Yōkai Ghosts, Charlier examines these beings through their myths, habitats, and behaviours, uncovering the human fears and desires they embody. With the voice of a storyteller and the insight of a scholar, he traces how these spirits emerged from a world lit only by lanterns, when shadow and silence gave rise to the imagination’s most haunting macabre inventions.
Their dramatic and often humorous depictions helped shape how yōkai were seen and understood in the nineteenth century — and laid the foundation for visual traditions that continue today.
Beautifully produced, this volume will appeal to readers fascinated by Japanese folklore, printmaking, horror, and the art of the uncanny. Lees meer

‘Absorbing' Telegraph‘Gentle, empathetic, committed to righting undeniable wrongs’ Sunday Times, Book of the Week'Illuminating and affectionate… an intimate and perceptive portrait' Publishers WeeklyAn intimate and revelatory biography of Yoko Ono from bestselling author of Beautiful BoyDavid Sheff met Yoko Ono and John Lennon in 1980 when conducting an in-depth interview with them just months before John’s murder. In the aftermath, Sheff and Yoko became close friends as she rebuilt her life, survived threats and continued creating groundbreaking art and music. Drawing from their decades-long friendship and interviews with Yoko, her family, close friends and collaborators, Sheff shares the story of one of the most unlikely and remarkable lives ever lived. Yoko spans from her birth to wealthy parents in pre-war Tokyo and her harrowing experience as a child during WW2 to her arrival in the avant-garde art scenes of London, Tokyo and New York. We see how she coped under the most intense, relentless and cynical microscope as she was falsely vilified for the most heinous cultural crime imaginable: breaking up the greatest rock-and-roll band in history. So often remembered only for her impact on The Beatles, Yoko has been caricatured as an opportunistic seductress or manipulative impostor. Yoko delves into her life as an artist, musician, feminist and activist, reframing her incredible achievements independent of Lennon. Yoko is a harrowing, moving, propulsive and vastly entertaining biography of a woman whose story has never been accurately told. It highlights Ono’s incredible talent and acknowledges her as a true artistic icon. Lees meer
