Tono Monogatari

Finished

水木しげるの遠野物語

Shigeru Mizuki, Japan's master of yokai manga, adapts the classic folklore collection *Tono Monogatari* into comic form. Originally compiled in 1910 by folklorists Kunio Yanagita and Kizen Sasaki, the book preserves legends from the Tono region during Japan's rapid modernization. Mizuki retraces their path, but his aging body struggles to keep up with the journey.

As he wanders through Tono, Mizuki retells 29 of the most famous tales, bringing to life a host of monsters, dragons, and foxes. The stories mingle with autobiographical elements, showing the artist reflecting on his own work. In the end, Mizuki meets Yanagita himself to discuss their shared passion for folklore.
