  ★日本插畫名家夏雪 高安恭之介

  最華麗、卻又最幽深,充滿日式風情的經典插畫



  ◎日本怪談經典,首次發行完整正體中文版!

  說到日本怪談,雖然每個人第一個反應都是小泉八雲的《怪談》,但真正的起點與經典其實是江戶時代的作家,上田秋成的《雨月物語》!



  秋成的怪談小說,不單只是恐怖或是獵奇,更多的是對於人世間情感的喟嘆,遺憾或執著的同情與不捨。也就因為這樣豐富的內涵,三島由紀夫從學生時代便深愛《雨月物語》,戰時也得隨身攜帶、須臾不離。谷崎潤一郎親自將收錄在其中的故事改編成電影,並成為谷崎電影的代表作之一;小泉八雲更從中取材,撰寫成作品〈食人鬼〉。



  被父親壓迫、被兄弟流放的崇德上皇,咬破手指寫下血書,發願成為大魔王,引發日本最慘重的內亂,讓世間化為地獄血海;外出經商卻錯過歸期的丈夫,回到故鄉之後等著他的--仍是癡心深情的愛妻?曾經是豐臣秀吉繼承人的豐臣秀次,在被秀吉命令切腹、全家被殘殺後,仍徘徊在高野山上百年?秋成筆下的奇詭與艷麗、殘酷與深情,兩百多年來就這樣牽引著日本人的內心,並讓眾多名作家沉醉於其中。



  ◎「故事」專欄作家胡川安深度導讀

  光是看熱鬧怎麼夠!?本次編輯團隊並請到《東京歷史迷走》作者,「故事」專欄作家胡川安,針對每篇故事都做出相應的導讀。為什麼崇德上皇那麼恨?為什麼豐臣秀次落入阿修羅道的亡魂,會出現在佛門勝地高野山?為什麼深愛丈夫的妻子,最後會落得一個人孤零零死在家中,只有鬼魂可以迎接丈夫的下場?



  故事之外的故事,故事之內的歷史,「生活中的歷史學家」胡川安一次說給你聽!

This volume has four stories, the first one is about an unfaithful man haunted by his dead wife and paid the price, the second story about a young man haunted a beautiful woman and her pretty maid who actually were a pair of snake demons is a re-telling based on the Chinese folklore The White Snake. The third story is about a well-respected monk falling into obscenity and insanity after the sudden death of a beloved young squire (homosexuality wasn't uncommon among monks back then).

These are the stories I enjoy, and the themes of karmas and the Buddhist undertone is strong. Plus I have a huge thank you to the translators and editors who added a lot of footnotes alongside the stories so readers can learn more about the cultures and practices of the time these stories were first created and published.

The fourth story isn't very interesting though.

More stories from this collection:

The story about a monk and his young son spending the night outside of a temple and were disturbed by the ghosts of dead samurais and their lord? Damn I'd seen similar stories before but it's still interesting!

Another story that I like: in which a man left his wife and the village they lived in to seek his fortune, but after seven years of separation and a civil war in between, the man finally made his way back to his home only to be cheered by his weary wife, who .
