Description

The third volume of Learn Kanji With Yokai!, carrying the Learn Japanese With Yokai! series further still. Across 40 illustrations of Yokai introduced in neither earlier volume—from the shamisen-playing Bakeneko to the ghosts and goblins that have haunted Japanese folklore for centuries—you will learn to write the Kanji names of these infamous creatures by following easy stroke-order steps, discover each one's origin and place within Japanese history, and color their vivid visages. Every illustration is hand-drawn by the artist. Created by an international team of professional translators and illustrators, this volume stands on its own as both a fun evening activity and a genuine introduction to written Japanese.
