At last, an official edition of the Kitaro yokai I read in bootlegs more than 40 years ago. I’m overwhelmed with emotion.
Shigeru Mizuki: Gegege no Kitaro: Yokai Files: World Edition
Shigeru Mizuki is a giant of Japanese manga, and his work is still beloved across generations. Among his many works, Shigeru Mizuki’s Yokai Encyclopedia: World Edition holds a special place. It commemorates the 100th anniversary of his birth and best represents his creative world. Finally available in Korea, this illustrated collection is also an encyclopedia of yokai, bringing together folklore, legends, and myths from around the world alongside original illustrations written and drawn by Mizuki himself. It introduces yokai from Europe, the Americas, Africa, and beyond, sharing their appearances and hidden stories. It captures Mizuki’s distinctive artistic vision and sparks the imagination. It also makes an excellent introduction for newcomers to the Kitaro family who don’t know GeGeGe no Kitaro. What is the origin of “that yokai” often seen in movies and anime? Where does it live, what does it eat, and how frightening or troublesome is it? This fascinating guide gathers strange and beautiful yokai from around the world. Turn the pages carefully: “it” might be lurking nearby!
