The ghost of a young woman suddenly begins to haunt her room... A merchant experiences a terrifying encounter on a deserted road... Fearless Momotarō marches into battle against demons... A rabbit devises a cruel revenge against his enemy...

You will learn why jellyfish have no bones, meet a dog whose love for his master endured even after death, discover the misfortune that befell the blind singer Hōichi, and how the priest and former samurai Kwairyo faced an entire horde of ghosts.
And that's far from all...
