8. The changing of drawing Yokai

     In the Edo period(1603-1867), yokai were becoming entertainment for common people. Until then, people were just afraid of yokai. However, people made horror stories about yokai, told each other, and began to draw yokai for their entertainment. In the present day, yokai have become the mascot or animated characters. People don’t draw yokai only fearful and evil but also cute and good.
