Publisher's Synopsis
'Learn Japanese With Yokai!' was thoughtfully crafted by Svetlana Kulagina and C. M. Zimmerman as a unique activity book for Japanese language learners and culture lovers, alike! Illustrated with pictures of classic Japanese creatures and spirits, by the time you finish all of it's pages you will have learnt much about the Japanese language and the culture which sculpted these phenomenal figures!
What exactly are Yokai? Yokai are the supernatural ghosts, ghouls and goblins of Japanese mythology. From cursed souls to protective deities, to everything short of a sentient jumping umbrella: these sometimes evil, yet always quirky creatures have seeped into pop-culture in Japan and have been mainstays of anime, manga as well as fine art!
Learning Japanese With Yokai! was created by an international team of professional translators and illustrators to not only be a fun evening activity for the curious of mind, but also to teach the world about these wonderful stories which we have become so familiar with!
Learn to write their names, discover their origin and place within Japanese history and society, as well as coloring their fantastical visages! With over 85 pages of unique art and lessons you, too, can become a master of telling these tales to the next generation!
