Japanese folklore is very interesting indeed. The vast Pantheon of the Shintō (#神道) Gods is accompanied by a whole series of spirits, demons, mischievous creatures — the Yōkai (#妖怪), whose exploits are often found in Japanese literature and certainly in many manga and anime.

The author of the most interesting and respectful of tradition “folkloristic” manga is undoubtedly Morohoshi Daijirō (#諸星大二郎). In his manga there are stories, but there are also the original sources. There you will find the Kojiki, the Nihon Shoki; the legends, with their regional variants; there also the traditional songs, admirably blended with the story conceived by Morohoshi-dono. Truly a great and unique mangaka.

One of Morohoshi’s works that I find particularly intriguing features a Demon Hunter, Hieda Reijirō (#稗田礼二郎): “The Field Notes of Hieda Reijiro” (妖怪ハンター稗田礼二郎のフィールド・ノート), known in the English translation as “The Advent of the Heavenly Grandson.” In that Work, together with our Yōkai Hunter (#妖怪ハンター), gravitate a number of very well portrayed, interesting characters, among which I was particularly struck by two youngsters, Taki and Oshima.

I dedicate to them this little piece written for congas, timbale, “techno” drums, and bass, which I wrote exclusively with Lilypond.
