Books

A cycle of spellbinding stories that probe the darker recesses of the human heart. Each tale follows an ordinary soul drawn into the orbit of Komayō, a beguiling supernatural being whose beauty masks a perilous charm.

Rich in Japanese folklore and psychological suspense, these chronicles warn of the hazards of unchecked desire and the seductive pull of the unknown.

One Hundred Tales of Kansai – The Blue Princess is a curated anthology of one hundred disquieting urban legends set in contemporary Osaka and the wider Kansai region. Each vignette balances psychological realism with a subtle brush of the supernatural, challenging readers to decide where reality ends and myth begins.

The collection leads you through emblematic neighbourhoods—from the neon dazzle of Dōtonbori to the hushed back‑streets of Umeda—while reviving the centuries‑old tradition of hyakumonogatari kaidankai. Explore maps, behind‑the‑scenes notes and extended lore on the official website.
