The Book of Japanese Folklore: An Encyclopedia of the Spirits, Monsters, and Yokai of Japanese Myth: The Stories of the Mischievous Kappa, Trickster Kitsune, Horrendous Oni, and More by Thersa Matsuura

informative medium-paced

5.0

Very informative book. It is quite literally an encyclopedia, with all the entries listed in alphabetical order. All the entries describe the yokai, give an example of a folk story they're in, and then give examples of how it's influenced modern pop culture.

Very interesting, the author narrates the audiobook herself and has a very soporific voice so it's a good audiobook for bedtime.
