Field notes
The atlas organizes Japanese yokai through several overlapping indexes: 23 creature categories, prefectures, physical settings, and available artwork. Its homepage distinguishes 325 entries with images from entries still marked as needing one, and identifies the image sources and Wikipedia-derived factual basis for each yokai page. The project is explicitly labeled alpha, with omissions and errors acknowledged as part of its work-in-progress status.
