A gorgeously photographed glimpse into the "island of monsters"―the world of Japanese folk masks, characters, and costumes

In Japan, the passing of the year is marked by festivals and rituals that have gone largely unchanged for centuries. Elaborate outfits, made from textiles as well as branches, straw, and other materials plucked from the natural environment, are donned in rural, agricultural, and fishing communities throughout Japan to celebrate seasonal rites of fertility and abundance. Yokainoshima (literally “island of monsters”) explores the extraordinary crop of masks, costumes, and characters that reappear with the return of each season.

Charles Fréger’s photographs combine the attention to detail of a documentary photograph with individual portraiture in a fresh and distinctive style. Texts by specialists in Japanese folk culture and anthropology accompany the photographs, putting the huge variety of eclectic costumes in context with descriptions of the local festivals, dances, and rituals where they are worn.

This compelling sequence of new portraits by an internationally acclaimed photographer will captivate enthusiasts of fine art photography and far off places as it pulls back the curtain on a strange and magical centuries-old tradition. 180 color illustrations

Charles Fréger is a photographer based in Rouen, France. His previous books include Wilder Mann and Portraits in Lace: Breton Women. His work has been featured in many publications including National Geographic.

“Yokainoshima is a collection of beautiful and fascinating photographs that explain the traditional festivals of Japan and how they were celebrated. This book is simply a treat to hold in your hands. It must be on every coffee table.” (The Washington BookReview)
