{"product_id":"9781770462366","title":"Kitaro Meets Nurarihyon by Zack Davisson","description":"Kitaro  Meets  Nurarihyon  is  the  second  volume  in  the  adventures  of  Shigeru Mizuki s  bizarre  yokai  boy  Kitaro  and  his  gaggle  of  other- worldly friends. These seven stories date from the golden age of Gegege no Kitaro, when Mizuki had perfected the balance of folklore, comedy, and horror that made Kitaro one of Japan s most beloved characters.  In  Kitaro  Meets  Nurarihyon,  Kitaro  and  his  father  Medama  Oyaji face  off  against  one  of  their  most  powerful  enemies the  self-styled  Yokai Supreme Commander known as Nurarihyon. Over the course of this volume, Kitaro takes on the swamp-dwelling Sawa Kozo, the mysterious Diamond Yokai, the sea giant called Umizato, and wages a double-feature of battles against the bizarre Odoro Odoro. Finally, Kitaro journeys to hell itself in the infamous and surreal story Hell Ride.  In  addition  to  more  than  150  pages  of  Mizuki s  all-ages  monster  fun,  Kitaro  Meets Nurarihyon includes bonus materials: Yokai Files that introduce Japan's folklore monsters and a 'History of Kitaro' essay by translator Zack Davisson.   If you found the world of yoki fascinating in the The Birth of Kitaro, you will find even more to love in Kitaro Meets Nurarihyon!\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56304045097333,"sku":"9781770462366","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781770462366.jpg?v=1762795407","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781770462366","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
