520	8		_a'Japan Supernatural' presents wildly imaginative works by Japanese artists past and present, from historical master Katsushika Hokusai to contemporary superstar Takashi Murakami. It takes readers on a journey of discovery of the astonishing array of yokai culture and yurei (ghosts) - phenomenal beings from fiendish goblins through to mischievous shapeshifters - that have inhabited Japanese culture for centuries. Once serving the purpose of explaining the unexplainable, they have been kept alive through folklore and legend in stories and artworks. While over time these creatures and characters have moved from being believed in to a form of entertainment ranging from horror to the comical they have maintained an ongoing presence in Japanese art and society in novels, films, anime, manga and games.
