Yokai is a Japanese term for mystical beings that encompasses a range of supernatural phenomena, including demons, monsters, ghosts, and shapeshifters. Known to be mischievous, wise, and eccentric when teaching life lessons to humans, the creatures are often at the center of popular anime and manga stories.

• Kitsune, fox demons with multiple tails

• Tengu, monsters with bird-like characteristics
• Kodama, tree spirits
• Nekomata, cats with two tails
• And many more!

With both drawing instruction and Japanese mythology to engage your mind, Yokai Bestiary will transport you to a fantastical land of beasts and spirits.
