It's October, so it's time for Matthew Meyer to share and illustrate A Yokai A Day.
He’s picking up where he left off last year with the Edo period collection Shokoku hyakumonogatari (“100 Tales from Various Provinces”) starting with How the Power of Sake Overcame a Bakemono.

I learned something about Yokai last year playing Ghostwire: Tokyo, a good-but-not great PS5 game. The Yokai were definitely the best part, lots of spooky and poignant stories of ghosts needing help.

Who among us has not been drunk enough to eat a demon plum?

Oh nice, I’ve met him a couple times when he’s come to Kyoto for the Mononoke-ichi art markets, and apparently Mrs. Fedora knew him before he started this project. He’s a pretty cool guy with a pretty cool hobby.

I enjoyed the Oct 1 entry, even though I figured out the twist immediately. Shared with artist friends. Thanks.
