内容説明・目次
内容説明
Oni, ubiquitous supernatural figures in Japanese literature, lore, art,and religion, usually appear as demons or ogres. Characteristically threatening, monstrous creatures with ugly features and fearful habits,including cannibalism, they also can be harbingers of prosperity,beautiful and sexual, and especially in modern contexts, even cute and lovable. There has been much ambiguity in their character and identity over their long history. Usually male, their female manifestations convey distinctivly gendered social and cultural meanings. Oni appear frequently in various arts and media, from Noh theater and picture scrolls to modern fiction and political propaganda, They're main common figures in popular Japanese anime, manga, and film and are becoming embedded in American and international popular culture through such media. Noriko Reider's book is the first in English devoted tooni. Reider fully examines their cultural history, multifaceted roles,and complex significance as "others" to the Japanese.
