Beautiful binding, beautiful printing, beautiful illustrations. And the stories are just page-turner.

Good binding
A great intro for yokai/folk tales of Japan. Fun illustrations & can be an intro to a more complete volume. Especially the bi-lingual folk tale book series.

Beautiful book, includes footnotes
Beautiful book with a solid collection of stories.The book is a hardcover with some contrasting colours on the cover and some artwork throughout the book. There is a nice margin on the pages so it doesn’t feel as crowded, or as busy as some novels do.One thing I wasn’t expecting but do appreciate is that there are footnotes featured at the footer throughout the book that provide further information, explanation, context, or fun tidbits to further enhance the experience and understanding of the reader.

Stunning!
Aesthetically speaking, this is probably the most beautiful book I've ever seen.The hard cover is very detailed, the pages are well done, and the illustrations are beautiful.As for the content, the Tales are short but interesting. As a non-native English speaker, some of the tales were tougher to read and fully understand, however it was still a good read.

Empfehlung!
Das Buch kann ich wirklich jedem empfehlen, der sich für Japan interessiert. Die Geschichten wurden gut ausgewählt und durch wunderschöne Illustrationen ergänzt. Ich habe das Buch an einem Tag durchgelesen. Ich konnte es einfach nicht weglegen, weil es mir so gut gefallen hat.
