Shigeru Mizuki Road All Yokai Encyclopedia (Bunshun Shinsho 1372)
Categories：Manga & Anime Artbooks
Sakaiminato City in Tottori Prefecture is the hometown of Shigeru Mizuki, a manga artist known for "GeGeGe no Kitaro.''
Sakaiminato City is famous for its bronze statues of monsters that line both sides of the main street.
After all, if you arrive by air, Yonago Airport is known as Kitaro Airport, and if you take the JR Sakai Line train, it is known as the Kitaro Train. Once you enter Sakaiminato City, you will find "Kitaro Koban'' and "Kitaro Post.'' Anyway, it's a parade of monsters.
And the biggest icon of the city is the bronze statue of a monster. The number continues to increase year by year, and currently stands at 177! If you include statues on Oki Island, the prefectural office, and inside JR stations, the number exceeds 200.
In 2018, the city carried out a large-scale relocation of the bronze statues that had been lined up in a chaotic manner. Currently, they are arranged according to the following categories: "The World of Wednesday-Thursday Manga,'' "Y?kai that live in the forest,'' "Y?kai that govern God, Buddhism, and good or bad fortune,'' "Y?kai that hide in everyday places,'' and "Y?kai that live in the house.''
This book is the latest encyclopedia that covers the current bronze bronze statues of Yokai. Each bronze statue is modeled after a monster depicted in Shigeru Mizuki's manga, but they are three-dimensional and very realistic. This is a perfect guidebook for anyone interested in the manga "GeGeGe no Kitaro'' as well as yokai.
This book also serves as the official text for the Yokai Certification, which is held once a year in Sakaiminato City and Chofu City.
Welcome to the dazzling world of monsters!
