About this book
One hundred yōkai born from the devices that copied and sent a body across Heisei-era Japan (1989–2019) — pagers, photo-sticker booths, bamboo blinds, screens — in a bilingual art book. Every plate faces its own record page: the yōkai's origin, how to know it, what to do about it, and a short story of its night with Suzune, in both Japanese and English.
At the center walks Suzune, the girl with a small red bell at her throat, still in her navy sailor uniform as she photographs the procession night after night. She can be approached but never touched, and she keeps that distance for all hundred nights. The hundredth plate waits for the dawn of a new era — the Heisei Tsuya Return — when the warmth and the gazes kept through the night are given back to the bell.
