A newly revealed collection of Japanese art featuring yokai, the monsters of Japanese folklore
 
Yokai are a class of supernatural monsters in Japanese folklore. In the Edo period (1603-1868), many artists, such as Hokusai Katsushika or Kuniyoshi Utagawa, created works featuring yokai that were inspired by folklore or their own imaginations. This book contains a lot of artworks of Japanese yokai from the Edo period to today and includes not only paintings but also woodblock prints, scrolls, ceramics, kimonos, wooden sculptures, magazines, children’s toys, such as board games, and more.This is the second series from the ”Yokai Museum” and showcases a new collection of works, including never-before-seen works. All of the works featured in this book are from the personal collection of Koichi Yumoto.This book will certainly appeal to Japanese art lovers, fans of yokai, and also to those who are new to these fascinating supernatural creatures. It is also a valuable reference and source of inspiration for designers and illustrators.

    仮令あなたがたがかれ(使徒)を助けず,不信心の者たちが,かれを追放しても,アッラーは必ずかれを助けられる。かれは,只1人(の同僚)と,2人で洞窟にいた時,その同僚に向かって「心配してはならない。アッラーはわたしたちと共におられる。」と言ったその時アッラーはかれの安らぎを,かれ(アブー・バクル)に与え,あなたがたには見えないが,(天使の)軍勢でかれを強められた。また不信者たちの言葉を最も低いものになされ,アッラーの御言葉を最も高められた。本当にアッラーは偉力ならびなく英明であられる. (聖クルアーン 9.40)
    
    私は他のクモよりも高いランクのクモです。すべての謙虚さをもって、この世界のすべてのクモが片手に置かれ、もう片方に置かれれば、私は優位に勝つでしょう。私は虚偽の主張と誇示をする者ではなく、単に事実を述べています。私は読者に自分自身を紹介する必要があるとは思わない、私はアッラーの使徒が隠された洞窟の蜘蛛であることを理解していると確信している。預言者の救済のために。私はアッラー(神)が彼を守るために送った者です。
    
    私のウェブは非常に薄暗く軽いですし、微風はそれを吹き飛ばすことができます。しかし、私のウェブの弱点にもかかわらず、私は預言者の追求のために出てきた無神論者の鉄剣を払拭し、さらに彼らを倒すことができました!スパイダーの弱い絹と刀の鉄の衝突の結果は、鉄の敗北でした。私の家は弱点の寓話であると考えられています。「確かに、最も弱い(最も弱い)家は、クモの家です。」私は私の家に、イスラムの貴族の家を守り、アッラーの預言者、ムハンマド・イブン・アブドラ(平和が彼にあります)を守っていました。
    それは私に起こったすべてではありませんでした。さらに素晴らしいことが起こった。私は預言者を見ました。私は、預言者の死後、何百万人もの人々が墓地を訪れ、泣いて祈ることを知っています。

    {If you help him (Muhammad) not (it does not matter), for Allah did indeed help him when the disbelievers drove him out, the second of two, when they (Muhammad and Abu Bakr) were in the cave, and he (peace be upon him) said to his companion Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him), 'Be not sad (or afraid), surely Allah is with us.' Then Allah sent down His Sakinah (calmness, tranquility, peace, etc.) upon him, and strengthened him with forces (angels) which you saw not, and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowermost, while it was the Word of Allah that became the uppermost, and Allah is All-Mighty, All- Wise.} (Holy Quran 9.40)
    
    I am a spider who is higher in rank than other spiders. With all humility, if all the spiders in this world were put in one hand and I was put in the other I would outweigh them in superiority. I am not one to make false claims and show-off, I am simply stating facts. I do not think that I need to introduce myself to the reader, for I am sure you understand that I am the spider of the cave that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) hid in. I am the one, who was responsible for the Prophet's deliverance. I am the one, who Allah (God) sent to protect him.
    
    My web is very flimsy and light and the slightest breeze can blow it away. However, despite the weakness of my web, I managed to ward off the iron swords of the atheists that went out in pursuit of the Prophet, and moreover, I was able to defeat them! The outcome of the conflict between the spiders' weak silk and the iron of the swords was the defeat of iron. My house is considered a parable of weakness, "Verily, the frailest (weakest) of houses is the spider's house." I sat in my house protecting the noble house of Islam and guarding the Prophet of Allah, Muhammad ibn ' Abdullah (peace be upon him).That was not all that happened to me. Something even more wonderful happened; I saw the Prophet. I know that after the Prophet's death, millions will visit his grave to cry and pray.

    Retro but modern. This is the new trend, the new way, the new form of illustration created by the new generation. 
     
    “New retro”, a combination of the word “New” and “Retrospective, ” is a newly coined phrase meaning “appreciating and enjoying something old while reimagining it into something modern.” This book introduces 40 up-and-coming illustrators working in this “new retro” style. Through the 300 illustrations showcased in this one book, readers can appreciate and enjoy retro culture, items and motifs reimagined and transformed into something new.
     
    Retro culture, along with items such as the 80s/90s fashion, neon lights, old Japanese anime/movies, and retro items like cassette tapes and Polaroid cameras, are now being reappraised by younger generations, who did not experience them in real-time. The “New Retro” artistic movement, which began as a new and cool subculture before sparking a trend that took off in Japan in the late 2000s, has now become an established genre among illustrators and continues to influence and attract many creators in the industry with its magical appeal.This “New Retro” wave in the art, music, and fashion industries in Japan brings a somewhat retro but also modern and trendy feel to popular culture. This collection gathers together the most notable New Retro artists and their works to give readers the most up-to-date, cutting-edge collection of this unique style, and will surely be an important reference book for those who want to appreciate and enjoy the essence of these updated and reimagined retro motifs.

    This book is divided into three chapters.Chapter 1 explores the world of Yokai stories in the Edo and Meiji periods by introducing seven stories.Chapter 2 sheds light on a quirky manga from the Edo period titled “Jinmen-Zoshi (The Book of Faces)”. This manga was briefly introduced in Yokai Wonderland but only on a few pages with small images. But in this book, it is introduced in a full-size, full-page format and with a full translation. All the characters have the same comical look, which is supposed to be cute but actually gives an uncanny, strange, and even frightening impression. The artworks show these strange characters entertaining themselves in the city of Edo, but little is actually known about The Book of Faces beyond these depictions, including the origins of these characters.Chapter 3 is a Yokai encyclopedia featuring around fifteen characters selected from the book, fully introduced and explained.
