Наскоро попаднах на страхотна колекция от зашеметяващи илюстрации на Gojin Ishihara, чиито рисунки красят редица японски издания и книги през 70-те. Тъй като нямаше как да не я споделя, прилагам картинките сега, като първите 16 от тях са извадени от илюстрираната книга на японските чудовища (1972), в която са представени визуално съществата от легендите и фолклора на Япония, а останалите се появяват в различни публикации.
Enjoy.
