Showcasing a stunning collection of Japanese woodblock prints and decorative arts, this exhibition features the diverse forms and stories of supernatural entities known as yōkai. From vengeful ghosts to enigmatic sea monsters, these fascinating tales have been retold for centuries and have attracted renewed interest through contemporary media, including games, anime, and movies like Pokémon, Howl’s Moving Castle, and The Grudge. Discover why the stories of yōkai continue to inspire new generations to explore these captivating narratives.

Japanese prints from the Raymond A. Bidwell Collection in the exhibition are rarely shown due to their delicate and light-sensitive nature, making this a rare opportunity to view the works in person.
