Episode description

Japan is known for interesting cultural traditions and one such concept is yokai. Yokai are mysterious creatures of supernatural origins and spirits. It comes from Japanese folklore and refers to spirits, demon, and other strange phenomenon otherwise unexplained. Common types of yokai are characteristics of the true form, the mutation category, external attributes, and others. The yokai that I will be discussing are kitsune, oni, tengu, tsukumogami, and yuki onna. I truly hope that this episode helps put yokai from Japan in a better light for some.
