Included with admission.

Yokai are Japanese supernatural creatures and phenomena from folklore. In ancient Japan, spirits were thought to be formless and invisible to the human eye. However, as artistic traditions developed, it became necessary to visually depict the spirits and monsters from stories. Guests can enjoy the Yokai folklore, art prints, and Yokai movies in this exhibit.
