Tono Monogatari by Shigeru Mizuki Paperback Book

Shigeru Mizuki—Japan’s grand master of yokai comics—adapts one of the most important works of supernatural literature into comic book form.

The cultural equivalent of Grimms' Fairy Tales, the original Tono Monogatari is a defining text of Japanese folklore and one of the country’s most important works of literature. Created during the later stage of Mizuki’s career - after he had retired from the daily grind of commercial comics to create personal, lasting works of art - Shigeru Mizuki's Tono Monogatari weaves the original text with autobiography. As Mizuki wanders through the woods, he retells some of the most famous legends, manifesting a host of monsters, dragons, and foxes.

Translated with additional essays by Mizuki scholar and translator Zack Davisson, Tono Monogatari displays Mizuki at his finest, exploring the world he most cherished.
