***

Since time immemorial, Japan has been inhabited by supernatural creatures, spirits, monsters and demons…Here's your chance to meet them up close and personal.

Strange Japanese Yokai assembles an extraordinary collection of mysterious creatures in every possible shape and size, each with their own unique back story. Some are well-known, others obscure. The one thing they share in common is that they are creepy and weird!

The 122 different Yokai described in this book include:

The Kappa: A dangerous creature who lives in lakes and rivers and attacks passers-by

The Nurarihyon: A mysterious Yokai with a huge head who steals food, tobacco and alcohol

The Yadokai: A mischievous former monk who wanders at night vandalizing and being a pest

The Ohaguru:A scary Yokai with black teeth who looks like a beautiful woman from afar until she gets closer, smiles, and reveals herself

Yokai expert Kenji Murakami identifies each Yokai, explains the history, where they commonly appear, and their strange powers. The book is illustrated with hundreds of full-color drawings showcasing the fascinating features of these strange creatures. Every monster here, no matter how disgusting, is part of the rich cultural legacy of Japan.

Great shoes!
Size: 5 Big Kid, Color: Light Grass Green
This is my second time purchasing these shoes! Not only are they stylish and well made, but they are comfortable! These have been used as running shoes, they have great support and suitable for long distances. The fit is true to size. Thank you!

Shoe laces aren't great.
Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Black White
I bought these RUNSIDE kids tennis shoes for everyday wear and school, and overall they’re lightweight, breathable, and comfortable for active use. My child liked how easy they were to put on, and they worked well for running and general play. The shoes themselves feel flexible and pretty comfortable for the price point. The upper material is breathable, which helps during sports or warmer weather, and they don’t feel heavy on the feet. However, the main issue is the original shoelaces. They constantly came untied no matter how they were tied, which became frustrating pretty quickly during the day. We ended up replacing them with better-quality laces, and that solved the problem. Pros: * Lightweight and comfortable for kids * Breathable material works well for active use * Easy for everyday wear and school * Good fit for the price Cons: * Original shoelaces do not stay tied well * Laces needed to be replaced for practical use Overall, these are solid budget-friendly kids’ sneakers that work well once the laces are swapped out. The shoe itself is comfortable and functional, but the included laces are definitely a weak point.

Great shoes
Size: 8 Toddler, Color: Camouflage Gray
Bought these for my three-year-old son, they fit great and they are easy for him to slide on himself. The laces seem to come untied a lot, but otherwise we love them!

Perfect for Active Kids
Size: 4 Big Kid, Color: Black, Size: 4 Big Kid, Color: Black
My son loves these shoes. He says they’re really comfortable and lightweight, and he can run and play in them easily. So far they’ve held up well. He can fit them. Non Velcro and slip resistant.

Good, but not great! Insert kept falling out.
Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Black
I bought these for my 8 year old and the insert was loose and had to be played with multiple times before I could get it to stay in place. I eventually had to place a double sided sticky pad to get the insert to stay.
