Supernatural Tales from Japan
Ghosts, Goblins, Demons and Magic
By Lafcadio Hearn and Yei Theodora Ozaki
Illustrated by Sakyu

This collection of fifteen chilling tales brings to life a world
where the supernatural and earthly realms are seamlesslyintertwined. The ghosts, goblins and magical creatures in
its pages are by turns mischievous, terrifying, protective
and tender. The stories included in this anthology are:
■ The Badger Haunted Temple—A brazen group offriends attempts to rid a temple of a gluttonous, shapeshifting goblin who has taken up residence there■ A Cherry Flower Idyll—A young man falls in love with the ethereal spirit of a cherry blossom
tree and vows to find her in the mortal world■ The Story of Mimi Nashi Hoichi—A blind bard is summoned to recite the tale of a famous
battle to the ghosts of its victims, only to find that his own life is at risk
■ And twelve other fabulous tales—Including several that rarely appear in English!
Passed down through many generations, these classic tales are beautifully retold by Lafcadio
Hearn and Yei Theodora Ozaki, two great interpreters of Japanese folk traditions. This volume
features a deluxe hardcover binding and sixteen all new, full-color illustrations by contemporary
Japanese yokai artist Sakyu. It will be treasured by fans of yokai and Japanese culture, as well asanyone who enjoys a good ghost story.
Lafcadio Hearn was one of the earliest Western writers to publish stories and essays about
supernatural Japan. He arrived in Japan in 1890 and fell in love with the country and its people.
After marrying a samurai’s daughter, he became a Japanese citizen and changed his name to
Yakumo Koizumi. He began publishing books on Japan in 1894, soon becoming known as thegreat interpreter of all things Japanese to the West.
Yei Theodora Ozaki was born in Victorian England to a Japanese father and an English mother.
After her parents’ marriage ended, Ozaki began to travel the world, and to retell in English thetraditional Japanese stories she loved. She later married Yukio Ozaki, a Japanese politician, andwent on to publish several collections of Japanese folk tales.
Sakyu is an illustrator based in Osaka whose work frequently depicts yokai and other supernatural
beings. Blending traditional styles with modern content, she brings humorous insights to life in Japan.
Her work has appeared in museums in Japan and abroad, including the Museum of International Folk
Art exhibit “Yokai: Ghosts & Demons of Japan” and the video game Samurai Bringer.

A Life in Twenty Short Stories

By Osamu Dazai
Translated and Introduced by James O’Brien

Best-known for his novels No Longer Human and The SettingSun, Dazai was also an acclaimed writer of short stories,
experimenting with a wide variety of styles and bringing toeach work a sophisticated sense of humor, a broad empathy
for the human condition and a tremendous literary talent.
The twenty stories in this collection include:■

Memories—An autobiographical tale in which
Dazai relates episodes from his own childhood andadolescence, highlighting his difficult relationship with his family and his tendency toward
introspection and self-dramatization■ On the Question of Apparel—A comic tour-de-force in which Dazai examines the hold thatfashion has over him and how it relates to his own negative self-image■ A Poor Man’s Got His Pride—A retelling of a story by the 18th-century master of burlesquefiction, Ihara Saikaku, about a fallen samurai who lives in abject poverty■ The Sound of Hammering—A love story set against the backdrop of the rebuilding of Tokyo
after the city was completely destroyed during World War II■ And sixteen other fascinating stories!
By turns hilarious, ironic, introspective, mystical and sarcastic, these present a fully rounded
portrait of a talented writer who tried several times to take his own life and ultimately succeeded.
An introduction by translator James O’Brien gives the background to Dazai’s life and shows how
the stories in this book, whether autobiographical or fictional, contribute to an understanding of
one of Japan’s greatest writers.

Translation

No Longer Human is the story of Yozo Oba who, from an earlyage, finds it impossible to form meaningful relationships withfamily or friends. As a child he copes by acting the fool—mocking
himself while entertaining others. As an adult he turns to alcohol,
sex and drugs, which lead to his eventual self-destruction.

In this novel, based closely on his own life, Dazai skillfully leads
the reader to sympathize deeply with Oba. Although the book
was published in 1948, the timeless and universal themes ofsocial alienation, failure, and one man’s inner torture at his
inability to feel like a normal human still resonate with young people everywhere, making this an
enduring international classic.

Japanese Tales ofFantasy and Folklore

Ninety Stories about Ghosts, Demonsand Other Supernatural Beings
from the Konjaku Monogatari
Translated by Naoshi Koriyama and Bruce Allen
Foreword by Karen Thornber

The Konjaku Monogatari is a collection of tales from Buddhist
and popular Japanese folklore that was compiled in thetwelfth century. The stories tell of fearsome demons, tengu
goblins, kitsune fox spirits, flying hermits and gods who
suddenly appear out of nowhere to rescue foolish humans.
This volume contains the largest collection of Konjaku Monogatari stories ever published in
English. It presents the low and the high, the humble and the devout—and the flirting, farting andfornicating of everyday men and women. The ninety tales in this book include:■ A Clerk from Higo Province Escapes from a Demon’s Scheme—A man on horseback is
invited to rest in a woman’s house. But he soon realizes she is a demon and takes refuge in a
cave, as the demon eats his horse. From deep in the cave comes the voice of another demon
and the man prays to Kannon, the Goddess of Mercy. Will his prayers be heard?
■ Empress Somedono is Seduced by a Tengu Goblin—A beautiful princess is plagued by anevil spirit, who is banished by a mystical high priest. Delighted, her father asks the priest to livein the palace, where the priest falls in love with her. However, the only way he can make her
fall in love with him is to take the form of a tengu goblin and cast a spell over her.
■ A Fox Whose Ball is Returned Repays a Man’s Kindness—A sorceress is called to exorcise
a haunted house and discovers the spirit is a kitsune fox. A beautiful white ball materializes,
belonging to the kitsune. A samurai watching the scene snatches it. Desperate, the kitsune
begs for its ball back, promising to protect the samurai, who reluctantly agrees. One night, lostin the dark, the samurai calls out to the kitsune for help and is guided safely home.

Hōjōki is an introspective poem written in the 13th century
by the enigmatic Japanese writer Kamo no Chōmei, who asa young man served as official court poet in the capital, butlater in life became a recluse.

Composed in a time of devastating fires, floods, earthquakes
and famines, Chōmei’s verses reflect on the impermanenceof things, expressing life’s mysteries and the profound wisdom to be found in nature.
Chōmei paints a vivid picture of the chaos and suffering of the human condition. But amidst all this, hediscovers an oasis of calm in a simple mountain hut, where he contemplates the virtues of nature andthe wabi sabi beauty of imperfection in all things.
This new translation by Matthew Stavros, presented alongside the original Japanese, perfectly captures
the profound serenity of Chōmei’s text. His poignant verses serve as timely reminders that truecontentment can be found in embracing fleeting moments and in seeking solace in nature’s beauty.

The Water Margin is an epic tale set in 12th century Imperial
China, one of the earliest and greatest masterpieces ofChinese fiction. Weaving together historical details andmemorable characters, it tells the exciting story of a rebellion
against tyranny set amidst the turmoil of a crumbling empire.

In this action-packed story, a desperate band of outlaws are thrown together by fate and a shareddesire for justice. They are pursued to remote marshes near Liangshan Mountain by corrupt officials,
where their popularity among the local populace quickly grows. Through intricate schemes, epic
battles, narrow escapes and unexpected treachery, the heroes fight to the death for freedom and fortheir loyalty to one another.
Famous for its bawdy language, this new Tuttle edition restores passages omitted in all other
English versions because they were thought to be too racy. A detailed introduction by Edwin Loweexplains how the book’s core message of courage and loyalty has captured the imagination ofChinese readers and continues to resonate with them today.

Foreword by Bon Koizumi. 272 pages

Born in Greece and abandoned as a child, Lafcadio Hearn
lived the life of an exile. He traveled the world and becamea famous writer but always felt like an outsider—in Dublin,
London, Cincinnati, New Orleans and French-speaking
Martinique. To him, none of these places felt like home.

Hearn’s life in America was punctuated by a string of
successes and failures. In Cincinnati he became the city’s best-known crime reporter but was fired
after marrying a black woman. Devastated, he moved to New Orleans where he championed French
Creole and Caribbean culture in pieces for Harper’s and Scribners—and created a new image for thecity as a place of voodoo and debauchery (the image of New Orleans which many Americans still holdtoday!).
Hearn arrived in Japan at a time of historic change. Sent there as a correspondent for Harper’s, hiscommission was soon terminated over a dispute. Alone and jobless, he settled in the remote townof Matsue, firmly believing that Japan would provide him with an endless supply of rich writing
material—perhaps enough to last a lifetime. And he was right.
Over the next dozen years, Hearn published fifteen books which were lauded by the likes of MarkTwain, William Butler Yeats, Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin. Hearn’s books on Japan establishedhis reputation as the leading Western writer on that country—a position he still occupies today.
• This book recounts the many colorful episodes in Hearn’s life including:• His troubled childhood in Ireland and emigration to America with no job or money• His career as a popular newspaper writer and essayist in Cincinnati and New Orleans,
where he found great success but was never fully accepted• His journey to Japan where he became a Buddhist, married the daughter of a Samurai,
took a Japanese name and is now considered one of Japan’s leading writers• Hearn’s growing fame as a writer, especially for his essays and books on ghosts, demons,monsters and the supernatural realm of Japanese folklore

Abridged
EditionDream of the Red Chamber is renowned for its epic scope,rich psychological characterizations and telling observations
on family life and the role of women in Chinese society. It is
widely regarded as the greatest Chinese classical novel andone of the greatest works of world literature ever written.

The “Red Chamber” refers to a sheltered area in wealthy
households where daughters were confined until married—a veritable prison where dreams of true
love wither. This sweeping tale tells of two star-crossed lovers from rival branches of the wealthy Jia
family, who live in lavish adjacent compounds surrounded by a private garden. The fates of the lovers
and their families slowly unravel as this tragic tale unfolds.
Although written by a man, Dream of the Red Chamber is said to be one of the first great works ofwomen’s literature. The author, Cao Xueqin, is thought to have written the novel as a memorial tothe inspiring women he knew in his youth, and the book is filled with strong female characters who
struggle against the restrictions of a blatantly misogynistic society.
Cao Xueqin was born into a wealthy family whose status diminished and whose fortune wasconfiscated when he was still a child; spending the remainder of his life in poverty. He wrote Dream of
the Red Chamber over a period of twenty years.
H. Bencraft Joly was Vice-Consulate of Macao at the time he translated Dream of the Red Chamber
in an effort to advance an appreciation of Chinese literature among Westerners.
John Minford has published widely on Chinese literature and translated numerous works including
Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio and the Art of War.
Edwin Lowe is an independent publisher of books on the humanities who has over twenty yearsof experience as an educator in Asian studies. He has taught at Macquarie University, the Australian

Jamu herbal preparations are part of an integrated system
of inner and outer health and beauty that has been honed
and practiced for centuries by Indonesians. This book is theresult of ten years of research and over 100 interviews withjamu practitioners and producers—from housewives andhome apothecaries to the CEOs of multinational corporations

• How jamu is sold traditionally, and the female pioneers of the modern jamu industry• And many other fascinating topics!
The Indonesian Art of Herbal Healing is lavishly illustrated with over 100 photographs and is the first
definitive reference in English on this exotic and practical healthcare system.
Susan-Jane Beers is an Irish-born writer with a background in public relations and journalism.

Through his popular series of radio talks, Way Beyond theWest, Alan Watts presented the practical side of Zen, which he described as “a cure for educationand culture.” By the early sixties, his radio programs were renowned for their synthesis of Eastern
wisdom and everyday life. This book is an engaging introduction to Watts’ enduring teachings.
The fascinating essays in this collection include:■ The Beat Way of Life—How the Beats lived an uncomplicated Zen life and despite being
denigrated as worthless slackers, like Eastern thinkers they actively pursued “an arduous
course of spiritual and psychological discipline”

■ Return to the Forest—How the popular works of the writer Joseph Campbell influenced
the earliest Beat traditions by advocating an internal search for individual truth over learned
schools of thought■ The Democratization of Buddhism—How Buddhism is actually a “religion of no-religion”
that conveys the spiritual through the everyday and the ordinary, and recognizes no division
between the two
Watts’ teachings—delivered during an era of turmoil and political strife—are as timely today as
they were half a century ago.

In this book, Watts explores all aspects of Buddhism—from its
roots in ancient India to the explosion of interest in Zen andTibetan Buddhist thought in the West. The fascinating topics covered in this book include:■ Finding a Middle Way—How a spiritual path to awakening is formed not just by avoiding
extreme indulgence but extreme denial as well
■ The Religion of No-Religion—How Buddhism eschews any particular dogma and instead acts
as a guide to understanding oneself■ Buddhism as Dialogue—How Zen teaches us that we are one with the world and so as welearn to navigate the world, we must also learn about ourselves
Watts traces the early beginnings of Buddhism, outlines the differences between Buddhism and otherreligions, and reviews the Four Noble Truths and The Eightfold Path. Buddhism: The Religion of NoReligion is a valuable reminder of the peace to be found by looking inward.

ghosts and spirits. Surviving encounters with angry ghosts and sexyspecters. Haunted places. Dangerous games and how to play them. And
more importantly, a guided tour of what awaits in the world of the dead.
Yurei is the Japanese word for “ghost.” It’s as simple as that. They are
the souls of dead people, unable—or unwilling—to shuffle off this mortal
coil. Yurei are many things, but “friendly” isn’t the first word that comes tomind. Not every yurei is dangerous, but they are all driven by emotions so uncontrollably powerful that they
have taken on a life of their own: rage, sadness, devotion, a desire for revenge, or even the firm belief thatthey are still alive.

Yet ironically, few martial artists (even in Japan) know the true origins and the deeper meaning
behind the term. Although it is universally used, it remains a total mystery to everyone. This bookpromises to finally reveal the secrets behind the word Oss and its fascinating origins!
Toshinori Ohmori is a graduate of Nihon University and a former professional kickboxer. His
8-second knockout in the first round of his debut fight stands as the shortest knockout inthe history of Japan’s pro kickboxing league. In addition to running Japan’s first martials arts
café, Ohmori serves as a K-1 certified referee and judge. He currently manages Nice Middle, akickboxing event for middle-aged and older athletes, and is a director of Athlete Foods.

The word Oss is used as a basic salutation, but has many othermeanings and functions as well. It is also a response—when
your name is called, when saying goodbye or goodnight, and before and after meals. Essentially,Oss has been adopted globally as a universal sign of respect reflecting the fundamental spirit of
the martial arts. Use of the word has exploded far beyond karate into other martial arts like judo,
aikido, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kickboxing and mixed martial arts—making it arguably the most frequently
uttered Japanese word in the world.

Alexander Bennett is a professor of Japanese history, martial arts and Budo theory at Kansai

Super Potato Design presents the work ofinternationally-renowned Japanese designer Takashi
Sugimoto. After studying metal sculpture at Tokyo
University of Fine Arts, Sugimoto began his career
designing a series of bars and restaurants including
the iconic Radio Bar in Tokyo that became a favorite
hangout for designers like Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto and Tadao Ando. He was soon recruited todesign retail spaces including the original Muji “no-brand” shops along with tea ceremony spaces andwedding chapels.

Super Potato’s striking interiors have revolutionized Japanese design through the use of exposed
concrete surfaces, rough-hewn timber and unevenly cut stone juxtaposed with salvaged andrepurposed objects to create a sense of power and timelessness. The design vocabulary created by
Sugimoto is universally imitated today (in Japan and throughout the world). It is what we now think ofas “modern Japanese design”—although Sugimoto’s own work has never been surpassed.

Amidst the glass-and-steel skyscrapers and luxury

important role. Inside the Korean House showcases 12very special hanok that have been selected to reflect
the style-conscious Korea of today, a country wheretraditional values are still highly respected.

978-0-8048-4467-3

While the exteriors of these homes are indistinguishable from traditional hanok of the past, theinteriors have been adapted to keep up with the times. Traditional stone, wood and clay are still thebasic materials used, and the houses make full use of natural elements such as wind and sunlightbased on the principles of baesanimsu—which position the hanok in harmony with the forces ofnature and the geography of their sites.
The hanok in this book all have unique stories that are told from the point of view of their owners,
many of whom are well-known architects, designers and business leaders. The book provides anunparalleled look at the lifestyles of contemporary Koreans who are leading the world now in terms ofdesign, fashion and innovation.
Nani Park was born in Korea but grew up in Hawaii, which gives her a special perspective as both aninsider and outsider in Korea. An award-winning illustrator and art educator, she has worked in the art
industry for over two decades.
Robert J. Fouser renovated his own hanok in 2012 and has been active in hanok preservation.

When You Have to Say: “Excuse Me,
Mister Monster Sir!”

BilingualEnglish &Filipino
Texts

By The Ang Ink Artists Collective

This delightful compendium of mythical creatures (andwhere to find them) takes a tongue-in-cheek look at theghoulish and gory things that go bump in the night—
blood-sucking trolls, shape-shifting goblins and terrifying
vampires who defend their turf with glee as they unleash
chaos upon the world.

Monsters and magical creatures spring vividly to life on
every page of this book thanks to the exceptional artistic talents of some of Asia’s leading children’sbook illustrators. Brief bilingual descriptions and dazzling illustrations introduce 56 fun, freaky andfearsome creatures, including:■ Mandurugos—Whose long tongue slithers down through cracks in the ceiling to suck out thesouls of unsuspecting sleepers at night
Also Available:■ Busos—Who noisily gather in cemeteries to dig up and consume freshly-buried corpses■ Tiktiks—Who swoop, hop and crawl as they prey on babies, the elderly and pregnant women■ Batibats—Who drop from the house beams and suffocate sleepers with their huge bodies
And yes, they live among us—in secret burrows, hollow trees, underwater caverns—and especially in
our homes. “Tabi-tabi po” is the phrase to be invoked in their presence, meaning, “Kindly step aside,
Sir, and allow me to pass.” These words are respectfully addressed to the unseen creatures who don’ttake kindly to trespassers, intentional or otherwise.
So be forewarned as you venture into this supernatural realm. Get acquainted with these amazing
beasts and remember to say, “Tabi-tabi po!” when you meet them!

Hokusai’s Daughter

September 2024

By Sunny Seki

A Young Artist in Old Japan

Whether working in his studio or out in the field,
Japanese artist Hokusai had a constant companion—
his youngest daughter, Eijo. Wherever they went, Eijo
brought along her own bag of brushes and the same
artistic brilliance and passion as her dad. Hokusai’s
Daughter tells the story of a clever girl who refuses tobelieve that only men can create great works of art.

Told that she cannot become an artist because she’s
a girl, Eijo sets out to prove everyone wrong. She’s
determined to become the proverbial koi that swims up the waterfall and becomes a mighty
dragon­—fighting against the current to become the person she is meant to be. Her creativity
and spunk surprise everyone, including her father. In the end she saves the day—and her dad’s
honor—proving that she’s not just a good artist, but a great one!
Katsushika Oi, called Eijo, created many remarkable works of art and had a hand in her illustrious
father’s later work. This beautifully illustrated bilingual story celebrates the power of grit andartistic expression as it introduces young readers to a trailblazing figure who, like her famous
father, left a lasting impression on the world of art. Hokusai’s Daughter is a timeless tale thatteaches kids to believe in themselves and follow their passion.

A Classic Chinese Tale for Children

The Monkey King retells the story of the Buddhist monk
Tripitaka who is dispatched by the Jade Emperor of
Heaven on a magical quest to bring the Sacred Scripturesof the Buddha to China in order to save the nation fromchaos. It describes in turn how the monk meets threebrave traveling companions—Monkey, Pigsy and Sandy—
each of whom has a very odd appearance but special
powers and a strong personality. Along the way they face
many enemies and often quarrel amongst themselves likechildren. But in the end, their loyalty to each other and dedication to their common goal ultimately win
the day.

The most beloved character in this story is of course the hilarious Monkey—mischievous and full ofenergy, constantly on the move and constantly creating problems for the others. But Monkey hasamazing magical powers that enable him to transform himself into other living beings and to summon
an army of monkeys to his side at a moment’s notice. Much to the consternation of his comrades,
however, he is always boasting about his abilities. But in the end he is the one who saves them.
David Seow was born and raised in Singapore. He studied at Anglo-Chinese School, Oregon
Episcopal School, and subsequently the University of Portland. After a stint as a sitcom writer with anaward-winning television series, he embarked on a career in children’s literature. David is the authorof twenty-three well-received children’s books, including The Littlest Emperor.
Lak-Khee Tay-Audouard is an award-winning artist who has illustrated several children’s books
including Singapore Children’s Favorite Stories and Adventures of the Treasure Fleet. She is basedin Singapore where she teaches at the International French School. Inspired by Tang figurines, theillustrations in this book capture the innocence and simplicity of Chinese folk art. Her original coloredpencil and wash illustrations were done on bamboo rag paper. Organic materials like earth, charcoal,tea and sackcloth have been added to enhance their rustic feel.

By design, Kyoto’s gardens possess a unique ability
to provoke deep contemplation and joy in equalmeasure. This book is a labor of love from masterphotographer Ben Simmons and longtime Kyotobased writer Judith Clancy. It contains lyrical images
and poetic essays describing Kyoto’s most famous
gardens—most of them now UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including:■ Kyoto’s Old Imperial Palace Garden—A massive walled complex filled with flowering plants,
trees and buildings which served as the official residence of the Japanese emperor for over
500 years before 1868 and is now a public park.
■ Heian Jingu Shrine Garden—Constructed on the site of the ancient capital and filled withlush greenery, ponds, rocks, bridges and pavilions which float above the water, providing a
sense of tranquility and natural beauty.
■ Ginkaku-ji Pure Land Garden—An earthly paradise featuring a massive truncated mound of
packed sand that is resculpted by hand daily, this site was originally designed as private villaby one of Kyoto’s rulers then turned into a Zen Buddhist temple upon his death.
■ Kinkaku-ji Estate Garden—Perhaps Kyoto’s most recognizable sight, a Golden Pavilion
perched on the edge of a tranquil pond on whose smooth surface are reflected beautiful rocks
and cypress trees placed all around it.
■ Ryoan-jin Zen Rock Garden—The purest expression of a world in miniature, expressed as asea of raked gravel with islands of natural stone and moss set in its midst, walled off from theoutside world to provide a place for meditation and contemplation.
■ Plus two dozen other masterful gardens!
Simmons’ sensitive photos present a fresh, contemporary look at these timeless gardens while
Clancy’s graceful descriptions provides historic, aesthetic and cultural context. This new edition has
been updated and revised, with many new photographs added.

By Alex Kerr

Originally published in Japanese as a call to preserve
disappearing facets of Japan’s rich and ancient culture, thisbook takes its inspiration from the 1960s classic, Hidden
Hamlets by Shirasu Masako. Like Shirasu, Kerr travels toremote and lesser-known places around Japan where pocketsof traditional culture can still be found. Some are faraway—like
Aogashima Island, 200 miles south of Tokyo—while others areeasy to reach, such as Mii-dera temple just east of Kyoto. The
engaging essays in this book describe surprising remnants ofJapan’s fragile physical and cultural environment including:• An austere but delicious kaiseki meal in Tottori composed of local herbs and meats• Avant-garde Butoh dancers in the remote village of Tashiro in Akita Prefecture• How shochu liquor is distilled from tropical ferns on the Pacific island of Aogashima
Kerr includes many anecdotes relating to his childhood growing up in Japan and his passion forrestoring old houses, and discusses the damage caused by governmental infrastructure policies aswell as tourism. His sharp eye for detail and exquisite descriptions of Japanese arts, architectureand foods will inspire readers who already appreciate his unique look at the “reality” of Japanbeyond the romance.
