This book takes you on a scary trip through the creepy streets of Japan, where urban tales have been telling stories of fear and wonder for generations. Find out about the scary story of the Slit-Mouthed Woman (Kuchisake-onna), the scary story of Hanako-san, the angry ghost in the school bathroom, and the strange story of Teke-Teke. Each part goes into these stories in great detail, showing where they came from, how they have changed over time, and how they affect Japanese culture today.
"Japanese Urban Legends" is more than just a collection of ghost stories; it shows what Japan’s people really fear and are interested in. People tell these urban legends as a unique way to look at Japan’s complicated relationship with magic, technology, and custom. The book masterfully builds a web that links the past to the present, folklore to city life, and fear to interest.
