Kappa: The Deadly Finger Puller and Bonesetter

Rate this book
Kappa are best known as cute turtle-like mascots, advertising Japan's rural tourism and other projects. But their folklore nature is far from cute and cuddly. Kappa kill people and eat people's souls. They enjoy drowning horses and love to sumo wrestle. They also have an affinity for women...

Kappa have a complex origin that reaches far outside of Japan, with related folktales stretching all the way to Scotland. The kappa shares some surprising links with divine horses, boy heroes, and even dragons!
This book explores the kappa and includes some of the most common, archetypal kappa stories.
