"""Finding one's bearings in this wealth of fiends can be a challenge though, especially for Western readers who are not familiar with the imagery and symbolism of Japanese art. This is where Marks' latest volume, Japanese Yokai and Other Supernatural Beings, comes in handy: It describes 100 of the country's most ghastly creatures in great detail. It is also lavishly illustrated, primarily with ukiyo-e woodblock prints, but also with the odd painting here and there.…It is an excellent introduction to the field."" --The Japan Times"
