In Japanese folklore, yōkai can be benevolent or hostile. They appear rarely, sometimes to bring luck, sometimes to frighten, sometimes simply to unsettle the ordinary with small, strange acts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis artist edition presents Mizuki as a patient observer and classifier. He did not merely popularize yōkai in modern Japan; he documented them with an attention that often feels almost photographic. \u003cem\u003eMononoke\u003c\/em\u003e lists the creatures by name and shows them in both black-and-white and color.

The tone is encyclopedic rather than narrative: it is about looking, naming, and preserving forms that once belonged to oral legend and regional memory. As an \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/artbooks-artist-publications\"\u003eartist publication\u003c\/a\u003e, it occupies a distinct position between folklore documentation and the illustrated book tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShigeru Mizuki (1922–2015) was a Japanese manga artist and one of the most influential modern chroniclers of yōkai folklore. His work brought renewed attention to regional legends and supernatural figures by combining storytelling with careful visual documentation. Mizuki's drawings helped shape contemporary popular imagery of yōkai and informed later creators across manga, animation, and illustration.

The premise is precise and deadpan: if yōkai are real, they require internal organs adapted to their particular capacities. Each drawing renders those organs with the same draftsmanly attention Mizuki brought to his manga backgrounds — detailed, systematic, and entirely straight-faced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe subjects range across Japanese folklore. Fukurosagé, a tanuki from Nagano Prefecture, is shown to possess a stomach capable of converting food directly into sake. Mannendaké — a bamboo said to be ten thousand years old — uses finger-like appendages resembling syringes to extract the souls of travelers who stray too close. The accompanying texts, written by Mizuki and adapted into French by Jean-Louis Capron for this edition, maintain the same register as the drawings: matter-of-fact, quasi-scientific, and quietly absurd.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume belongs to the Collection Solange series and is printed in black and Pantone orange — a restrained palette suited to both the folkloric subject matter and the clinical format of the anatomical drawings.
