 The Otherworld
Ayakashi is an archaic term for yokai.

Kami are Shinto deities or spirits. The word can be used for a range
of creatures, from nature spirits to strong and dangerous gods.

Onibi-warashi are like will-o’-the-wisps.

Shinshi are birds, beasts, insects or fish that have a special

relationship with a kami.

Tengu are a type of yokai. They are sometimes associated with

excess pride.

Tochigami (or jinushigami) are deities of a specific area of land.

Yokai are demons, monsters or goblins.

Honorifics
-chan is a diminutive most often used with babies, children or
teenage girls.

-dono roughly means “my lord,” although not in the aristocratic

sense.

-kun is used by persons of superior rank to their juniors. It can

sometimes have a familiar connotation.

-san is a standard honorific similar to Mr., Mrs., Miss, or Ms.

-sama is used with people of much higher rank.

 Notes
Page 53, sidebar: Yoriyori
ICoriyori are fried bread twists and are based on a Chinese pastry
called runhua.

Page 99, panel 5: Hiiragi

Hiiragi trees (Osmanthns heterophyllus) are thought to ward off
evil. Planting hiiragi in the northeast of your garden and nanten
(Nemdina domestica) in the southwest is believed to protect the
house from misfortune.

Page 101, panel 2: Ryu-oh

Literally “dragon king.”
