About the Author

This website is created and curated by an independent researcher and editor focusing on the documentation and systematization of mythological and folkloric sources.

The primary area of interest is Japanese mythology, folklore, and yōkai — supernatural beings documented in classical texts, regional legends, oral traditions, and later historical interpretations.

Research Approach

All articles published on this site are prepared through the analysis of:

academic and semi-academic studies;

classical Japanese chronicles and folklore collections;

museum catalogs and archival descriptions;

comparative reviews of multiple versions of the same myth or legend.

Special attention is given to regional variations, historical context, and the evolution of mythological figures over time.

Editorial Principles

The content is guided by the following principles:

accurate terminology and cautious wording;

clear distinction between primary sources and later interpretations;

neutral, non-sensational presentation;

respect for cultural and historical context.
