An in-depth exploration of the sometimes charming, sometimes gruesome feline creatures and ghosts of Japan.

A must-have book for the Japanophile and cat-lover alike! First in a forthcoming series about the supernatural animals of Japan.
“Kaibyo: The Supernatural Cats of Japan is an extremely diverting and stunningly produced celebration of the phantom feline in its myriad of manifestations some alluring, others humorous and many outright terrifying.”–Scot D. Ryerson and Michael Orlando Yaccarino, co-authors of Infinite Variety: The Life and Legend of the Marchesa Casati and The Marchesa Casati: Portraits of a Muse
