Unraveling Yokai Mysteries in Japandemonium with Matt Alt + Hiroko Yoda

Matt Alt + Hiroko Yoda are a talented research-translation-writing team who have published a variety of books on Japanese culture, history, heritage, art, film and games.

In this episode, they tell us insights from creating the first English encyclopedia of Yokai Monsters called JAPANDEMONIUM which was published in 2017.

Japandemonium is a translation of poet-artist Toriyama Sekien work who had compiled the Japanese Yokai folklore into a type of illustrated Encyclopedia.
