Summary
The Japanese belive in two kinds of ghosts -- the spirits of the dead and the spirits of the living. This book examines both, offering a fascinating window into Japan's supernatural and spiritual world. Lafcadio Hearn presents 14 stories that portray deathless images of ghosts and yokai, touches of ancient folklore, as well as Buddhist traditions. A new foreword by Michael Dylan Foster explains the book's importance as a Japanese cultural and historical classic
