    Translated from the Japanese description of the book:
    "The world is a youkai boom. Youkai are on TV, movies, and books. Meanwhile, the beloved youkai of Shigeru Mizuki, a great figure, gather in 3D! This book is about making a figure, adding a background, and taking a picture. Starting with Kitaro, who is now very popular due to the return of the boom, there are a lot of people who are about to start moving, such as Akaname, Miage-nyudo, and Tofu-kozou. As Dr. Mizuki said, "Because something invades your head and you are absorbed in it like an idiot, you can only leave something amazing", masterpiece figures of people possessed by youkai. Please have a look."
    (May 8, 2007)
    Photographed 125 youkai 3D figures (made by Yokaisha) produced and supervised by Shigeru Mizuki himself, making full use of location and CG.
    Also includes an interview with Shigeru Mizuki.
