This detailed illustration shows twelve iconic creatures from Japanese folklore, also known as Yōkai. Each creature is individually designed and labelled with its name - from the multi-tailed kitsune to the fearsome jorōgumo and the mystical tengu. The variety of characters ranges from animal-like creatures and ghostly figures to human-like figures with supernatural characteristics. The illustrative style is intensely colourful and emphasises both the uncanny and the mystical.
