520    "Shigeru Mizuki--Japan's grand master of Yokai comics--
       adapts one of the most important works of supernatural 
       literature into comic book form. The cultural equivalent 
       of Brothers Grimm's fairy tales, Tono Monogatari is a 
       defining text of Japanese folklore and one of the 
       country's most important works of literature. This graphic
       novel was created during the later stage of Mizuki's 
       career, after he had retired from the daily grind of 
       commercial comics to create personal, lasting works of 
       art. Originally written in 1910 by folklorists and field 
       researchers Kunio Yanagita and Kizen Sasaki, Tono 
       Monogatari celebrates and archives legends from the Tono 
       region. These stories were recorded as Japan's rapid 
       modernization led to the disappearance of traditional 
       culture. This adaptation mingles the original text with 
       autobiography: Mizuki attempts to retrace Yanagita and 
       Sasaki's path, but finds his old body is not quite up to 
       the challenge of following in their footsteps. As Mizuki 
       wanders through Tono he retells some of the most famous 
       legends, manifesting a host of monsters, dragons, and 
       foxes. In the finale, Mizuki meets Yanagita himself and 
       the two sit down to discuss their works."--|cProvided by
