Japan’s rulers became embarrassed of the backwards superstitions of their country and made belief in yokai illegal. They spent about 100 years purposefully wiping out yokai from the culture.

NASHVILLE, Tenn | Rocker Jerry Lee Lewis suffers stroke, expected to recover

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Rock ‘n’ roll pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis is recovering after a minor stroke, but he’s expected to make a full recovery.

A statement from his publicist says the 83-year-old Rock & Roll Hall of Famer had a stroke Thursday night and is recuperating in Memphis. His publicist, Zach Farnum, said no scheduled shows have been affected.

Nicknamed “The Killer,” Lewis is known for his…

Remembering Jiro Taniguchi

Since Jiro Taniguchi’s death last week, writers across the globe have paid tribute to his artistry and storytelling skills. Some authors have been reverential, demonstrating a thoughtful engagement with Tanguchi’s legacy; others have seemed more intent on rehearsing old stereotypes about manga than in recognizing Taniguchi’s real contributions to the medium. Nonetheless, the sheer range of publications covering the story is astonishing, from Variety to Yahoo! News.

Not surprisingly, comics journalists have posted some of the most detailed, thoughtful assessments of Taniguchi’s work. Readers looking for more information about Taniguchi’s career will find Zach Davisson‘s biography of Taniguchi enlightening, while readers looking for recommendations may find Brigid Alverson‘s “best of” list a helpful place to start. Heidi MacDonald‘s paean to Kodoku no Gourmet (The Lonely Gourmet) and Joe McCulloch‘s page-page analysis of Hotel Harbour View are also worth a look.

Brigid Alverson writes a funny, thoughtful essay explaining why Fruits Basket was her daughters’ “gateway drug” to manga. As she observes, “Fruits Basket is a teenage girl’s dream: The world is full of hot guys who think about you all the time. They argue about you, they defend you to each other, they elbow aside bullies, and when you’re not around, they talk constantly about how awesome you are.” [B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog]

Yokai almost disappeared following the Edo period, when Japan was swept up in a mania for modernization. When meeting with the Western powers, the country was embarrassed of its provincial passion for the supernatural. The government tried to sweep yokai under the carpet in favor of rational thinking and scientific advancement. As the military took over and Japan plunged into the darkness of WWII, the yokai were forgotten. But one young man remembered. Comic artist Mizuki Shigeru (水木しげる; 1922 – Present) was raised on yokai stories told by his village wise woman. When he came home from the war, he started working in the new manga industry, drawing the stories he had heard as a boy. His comic Ge ge ge no Kitaro (ゲゲゲの鬼太郎) became one of Japan’s most popular comics, and Mizuki taught all of the children of Japan about the country’s mythical past.
