Nurikabe
The ''nurikabe'' (塗り壁 or 塗壁) is a ''yōkai'', or spirit, from Japanese folklore. Its name translates to "plaster wall", and it is said to manifest as an invisible wall that impedes or misdirects travelers walking at night. Sometimes referred to in English as "The Wall" or "Mr. Wall", this ''yōkai'' is described as quite tall, to prevent people from climbing over it, and wide enough to dampen any attempts to go around it. Japanese scholar and folklorist Kunio Yanagita recorded perhaps the most prominent early example of ''nurikabe'' and other ''yōkai'' in his books. Manga artist Mizuki Shigeru claims to have encountered a ''nurikabe'' in New Guinea, inspiring a ''nurikabe'' character in his manga ''Gegege no Kitarō.'' Mythology The ''nurikabe'' takes form as a wall—usually invisible—that blocks the path of travelers as they're walking. With the exception of Mizuki Shigeru's experience in New Guinea, most legends and accounts of ''nurikabe'' come from Kyūshū, i ...

Dragon League
A dragon is a reptilian legendary creature that appears in the folklore of many cultures worldwide. Beliefs about dragons vary considerably through regions, but dragons in western cultures since the High Middle Ages have often been depicted as winged, horned, and capable of breathing fire. Dragons in eastern cultures are usually depicted as wingless, four-legged, serpentine creatures with above-average intelligence. Commonalities between dragons' traits are often a hybridization of feline, reptilian and avian features.
