Story
More than just fearsome creatures, Oni are mysterious beings that transcend the boundaries of good and evil—at once terrifying, protective, and deeply human.
This video is the third episode of a seven-part series exploring Japan’s yokai and how these mysterious beings have evolved through generations. From terrifying monsters to playful characters, yokai continue to capture the imagination of people through stories, art, toys, and films.
＊＊＊
The video series was produced to coincide with the exhibition "Yokai Parade: Supernatural Monsters from Japan," which highlights the enduring appeal of yokai through diverse media, including fine-quality replicas of historical artworks.
The Japan Foundation presents this traveling exhibition around the world where visitors can discover many more yokai and related materials than are featured in this video.
