Complete Collection of Strange Children's Books from Japan's Showa Era

A shocking, incredibly impactful experience that would be utterly impossible today!

Those books that elementary school students once adored, yet which also left deep trauma!

Focused on the strange and the occult, alongside mystery and sci-fi works, these books ignited children's curiosity while simultaneously plunging them into the abyss of fear.

A grand collection of masterpieces and rare works from the astonishing "Amazing Books" of the Showa era!

Back then, these books were naturally displayed on children's bookshelves. Thrilling, brutal, terrifying... yet they also greatly cultivated our imagination.

A "strange" world depicted with eerie illustrations and text. Yokai, psychic phenomena, UFOs, superpowers, mysteries and inexplicable occurrences, incidents and crimes, and even the end of humanity... it was a veritable parade of "horror."

We were profoundly shaken, deeply influenced, and immersed ourselves in reading. It was precisely because of this that we truly experienced the joy and pleasure of reading, and grew from it.
