Aprašymas

Dragons, phoenixes, demons, tengu.... The mythical beings depicted in Japanese art.

A qilin soars on tiptoe so as not to step on insects or grass. Bai Ze possesses knowledge beyond human understanding. The phoenix combines the best features of all animals. How have imaginary creatures that have been revered, and feared, throughout history been depicted and what do they say to us today? This book introduces a rich variety of sacred and mythical beasts, demons, folkloric gods, tsukumogami ("tool gods") and ayakashi spirits as depicted by various artists, including Kawanabe Kyosai, Ito Jakuchū and Utagawa Kuniyoshi.
*This book is a reprint of "Mythical Beasts of Japan: From Evil Creatures to Sacred Beings" published by PIE BOOKS in 2009.
