Master of yokai (supernatural creatures in Japanese folklore) manga and one of the most influential comic artists of his generation, Shigeru Mizuki channelled his own traumatic war experiences and hardship-filled early life into wonderfully imaginative and multi-layered stories – many of which are now being discovered by a new, international readership, in part due to the attention Mizuki's death at the age of 93 received late last year. This 'pop-up theme park' at Sunshine City lets visitors dive deep into the world of 'GeGeGe no Kitaro' and other yokai tales, while also telling the stories of other yokai from all over Japan. In addition to original illustrations and other still displays, you can look forward to exploring an interactive 'Yokai Mansion' and a monster-filled 'Yokai Forest'. Despite the ghastly theme, the display should be suitable for visitors of all ages.
