About this book

500 Japanese words of yokai and folktale friends — in one picture book made in Japan! From the kappa in the river and the tengu on the mountain to the lantern friend who lights the night road, kids meet Japan's yokai as friends: zashiki warashi in the tatami room, the gentle sea giant, the snow friend, the dragon of the sky, and the heroes of the old tales — Momotaro, Kintaro, Issun Boshi, Urashima Taro and Kaguya Hime — with their tools and treasures, the places yokai live, the friendly night parade, and words for saying hello and becoming friends. Every word comes with a friendly picture, Japanese in kana (the way children in Japan read), romaji for pronunciation, and a QR code for FREE audio of all 500 words. Vol. 38 of the "My First 500 Japanese Words" series — written and produced in Japan by Aki Wakamatsu.
