Review
The Yokai Character Collection is a fun introduction to the world of Japanese monsters as well as the Japanese language. The vivid illustrations capture the creepiness and whimsy found in old picture scrolls. The hiragana spellings and pronunciation guide will be appreciated by students of Japanese and people who are interested in the language. --Matthew Meyer, Author of The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons
A very fun foot in the door for learning more about Japan's yokai! --Matt Alt, author of Yokai Attack!, The Japanese Monster Survival Guide
