In Harry Potter there are a lot of imaginary creatures, unicorn, elf, dwarf and so on. We know these creatures because we played TV games or reading books. But not that we are familiarized with western imaginary creatuers from childhood. And our traditional and familiar imaginary creatures are called YOUKAI. They always do *mischievous trick and scare people to death. It’s like ghost, but not ghost. They are ingrained in the minds of almost all Japanese. *( For instance, one of them licks lantern’s oil. Or when you are sleeping, one of them turn over your pillow. I don’t know thier purpose.)

And there is a famous Manga called GEGEGE NO KITAROU, main characters are YOUKAI. Almost all Japanese know the Manga. (Hero is a YOUKAI who born in mothers grave, and was brought up by father’s eyeball. A eyeball is father.)

Recently It’s adapted into a live-action film, and I went to watch it.

the movie’s official site

I enjoyed the movie because while I was watching I was feeling nostalgic.

Later I put my picture about this on this page. See you then.
