Greetings yokai fans!

Last year I did a free virtual talk with the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They just posted the talk online, so I can finally share it with everyone.

I gave a brief history of yokai and the tradition of collecting and categorizing them which has existed for hundreds of years and continues to this day. I also talk about the challenges that arise from even attempting to catalog something that is, by definition, unknowable. I also tell a few yokai stories, then take questions from the audience.

It was a really fun talk, and I hope to do it again some time! You can view the talk here on Patreon or directly on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKH61_D42SY

I hope you enjoy it!
