There are two others I know, though they're a little less serious in tone, I still like them, very similar in style to the first one. They're both part of a series, with each book havbing a different focus.

http://www.amazon.com/Yokai-Attack-Japanese-Monster-Survival/dp/480531219X/ref=pd_sim_b_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=06K7ZZJJ5PGYF6CNB5CX

This one focuses on Yokai. These books are "survival guides" of a sort (like I said, less serious in tone), with each entry giving a description, a depiction, and a mothod for dealing with it. I enjoyed the lighter tone and the art, and it made for a quick read before bed.

http://www.amazon.com/Yurei-Attack-Japanese-Ghost-Survival/dp/4805312149/ref=pd_sim_b_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=06K7ZZJJ5PGYF6CNB5CX

This one focuses on Yurei (Japanese ghosts), and actually was the more informative of the two for me. Whereas the first book focused on different kinds of Yokai, this one focuses on famous ghosts and what they did.

I personally have a deep love of Yokai, for a number of reasons. They have a way of popping up throughout even modern culture, and the sheer amount of them makes them fun to research. Plus, I'm a huge horror fan (especially j-horror), and they occasionally pop up there too. I hope you enjoy the books, and maybe get interested in Yokai as a result!

Love it! Thanks so much! Here's something else interesting I found while looking through the related items.

I can't really answer your question, but I own a copy of this book and can highly, highly recommend it.
