Abstract

In Japanese culture there is a wide variety of creatures whose existence explains the way in which fear is built and visualized; these beings and the stories generated around them have aroused the interest of other nations, which have taken up these figures and stories adapting them to their own ways of representing visuality and manifesting it with readjustments of ancient Japanese stories that emerged mostly in the period Edo.
