Vampiros en Japón

This book squeezes out every last drop of becoming under the rising sun of the bloodthirsty creatures, as well as of the arrival in the country of other myths of Western fantasy. Starting with indigenous protovampires, such as certain types of yokai and blood-sucking demons of the oral and kabuki tradition, it extends over the acclimatization of Western imagery that erupted from the end of the 19th century, reaching the representation of the myth in modern times, where the vampire of draculian pattern will coexist with others of original forms of the most unexpected. A journey through legends, stories, novels, cinema, manga and television, which includes illustrations and unpublished texts from the first years of the presence of the prince of darkness in Japan.
