內容簡介

內容簡介 古老寺院、鬧鬼橋樑與幽靈女子——探索 87 則超自然故事，在那裡京都的歷史與佛教傳說，與不安的靈魂、餓鬼以及阻擋他們的儀式纏繞在一起。在京都，幽靈不只是故事——他們是鄰居、是警告，有時甚至是保護者。這部極具氛圍感的選集匯集了來自日本前首都的 87 則超自然傳說，在那裡，每個街角、神社與櫻花樹下都潛藏著專屬的靈異往事。從指引祖先回家的盂蘭盆節之火，到鬼門以及據說直通地獄的深井，每一則故事都隨著這座城市與異世界交織的生命關係而脈動。遇見復仇的怨靈、擁有無窮渴求的餓鬼，以及受困於六道輪迴中的多情魂魄。見證與地獄之王交涉的僧侶、會流血或移動的佛像，還有那長達數世紀依戀不散的女子。這些故事源自數百年前的編年史、寺院傳說，以及京都計程車司機之間的低聲告誡。本書以在地人的親暱感與民俗學家的好奇心寫就，是一部稀有的日本鬼故事英文寶庫——非常適合對妖怪、佛教往生觀以及形塑京都日常生活的神祕儀式著迷的讀者。這些故事將改變你對這座城市的看法，以及對那些行走在陰影巷弄中事物的認知。Ancient temples, haunted bridges, and spectral women—discover 87 supernatural tales where Kyoto’s history and Buddhist lore entwine with restless spirits, Hungry Ghosts, and the rituals that keep them at bay.In Kyoto, ghosts are not just stories—they are neighbors, warnings, and, sometimes, protectors. This atmospheric collection gathers 87 supernatural legends from Japan’s former capital, where every street corner, shrine, and cherry tree harbors its own haunting. From the fires of Obon guiding the ancestors home to the Demon’s Gate and the wells said to lead straight to Hell, each tale pulses with the city’s living relationship to the otherworld.Meet vengeful onryo, Hungry Ghosts with insatiable cravings, and poetic spirits trapped in the Six Realms. Witness monks who bargain with the King of Hell, statues that bleed or move, and women whose longing lingers for centuries. These stories are drawn from centuries-old chronicles, temple lore, and the whispered warnings of Kyoto cab drivers.Written with the intimacy of a local and the curiosity of a folklorist, this book is a rare English-language treasury of Japanese ghost stories—perfect for readers fascinated by yokai, Buddhist afterlife, and the mysterious rituals that shape Kyoto’s everyday life. These tales will change the way you see the city—and what walks its shadowed lanes.
