#81 - Yōkai in Japanese Folklore: How Japan Embraced Their Monsters (with Charly Bristow)


Listen Later

We're joined again by Charly (our guest in episode #46), who tells us all about Yōkai in Japanese folklore. Yōkai are supernatural identities who range from cute and fairly harmless, to mischievous and downright terrifying. You might also recognise some of them from modern culture, including Pokemon and Animal Crossing!

Make sure you check out the notes on our website to see Charly's notes (she even brought a PowerPoint presentation) and photos of the Yōkai.
