Any anecdotes you can share? I’ll bet this has come up in conversations you’ve had

I’ve heard about that episode but never seen it. What’s it called?

I could but I wasn’t planing on it unless I think of something to do with them

Don’t count on me finishing this thing too soon tho. Not sure if I want to get sucked into papier-mâchéing when I have drawings and writings to finish.

There’s almost one yokai per page so there’s tons in there but the descriptions are very short. Likely aimed at kid readers. The thing that concerns me most is the translation. It’s really awkward in some places.

Also, did I hear him pronounce it "KuCHEsake Onna"?

It was written in 1996 so they probably weren't using Google. I'd love to know what snippets of books and magazines they were using tho. The illustration (as well as the bit about "politeness") seems like a case of "I only know 5 things about Japan and I'm going to use them all here!"
