Spirit folklore varies from region to region, especially in places with a long standing spiritual culture such as Japan. In Japan these folk groups were created by the distribution of spirit folklore through verbal forms, passed down generation after generation. However, the Japanese culture has found a way through other media, such as anime and movies, to further extend stories of the Yōkai or spirits. The purpose of this website is to not only share some of these spirit stories and their cultural values, but also to share a part of this rich                                                                                                                 history and how they have been adapted.
