24 dreamers witnessed the "demon moments" of ancient times, Meiji, Taisho and Showa eras.
★ The story of the phantom monsters is tortuous, absurd, and bizarre. It describes the fantasy of hundreds of monsters between reality and fantasy, but what it dissects is the human heart, the world, and true feelings. Dazai Osamu said: The value of a writer's existence lies in depicting those strange realities that are unknown to the world and difficult to describe.
In the Kojiki, a male and female creator god confront each other in the world of the living and the underworld; in the Konjaku Monogatarishu, there are numerous stories of karma, reincarnation, and the living being's witness to the truth; and in Uchida Hyakuken's "Kan," he depicts endless wilderness, the periodic appearance of the moon, and the confrontation between a wall of ambiguous people and beasts speaking human language, where the concept of "humanity" gradually blurs...
A corpse buried under a cherry tree, a lantern of a girl returning from the underworld, an electric town taken over by cats in the blink of an eye, an all-seeing eye filled with dogwood trees... Motojiro Kajii, Ango Sakaguchi, Osamu Dazai, Ranpo Edogawa, Yukio Mishima, Hisasaku Yumeno, they began to explore the inside of the human body, dissecting various parts of the flesh, bringing about a more nihilistic modern fantasy beauty after the fierce conflict.
Phantom monsters, phantom flowers, hallucinations, illusions, phantom talks, phantom paintings, phantom birds, all the dreamy emotions are dissipated in the worldly affairs.
★ Beautiful depictions, breaking the mold: The pinnacle of astonishing imagination in fantasy literature, providing an inexhaustible source of inspiration for modern and contemporary art. This gem is a must-see for lovers of literature and art. The gods and demons that frequently appear in hit anime like "Natsume's Book of Friends" and "Kamisama Kiss" reveal their true identities in Japan's most ancient mythology, "Kojiki"...
As two masterpieces of modern fantasy literature, Izumi Kyoka's "Ryutan Tan" tells the story of a child and a dragon girl's "disappearance," becoming the inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki's films that captivated fans worldwide. Tanizaki Jun'ichirō's "The Magician" creates an unknown kingdom for the god Pan on this very border, where the wandering shepherd finally connects, forever inseparable...
