 
The is an 18th century collection of depicting Japanese "yōkai" by poet and painter Yosa Buson. The whereabouts of the original work are presently unclear; its contents are known from a reprinting released by the Kitada Shisui Collection in 1928.
It is thought that the collection was made during the period between 1754 and 1757, when Buson was studying painting in Miyazu, Tango Province, at the temple. In total, eight different kinds of are depicted. Some of the works are annotated with just the name of the being portrayed, whereas others include a more detailed story. It has been surmised that, whilst Buson was travelling across Japan, he picked up various stories about different kinds of regional "yōkai", and that the "yōkai emaki" contains his realisation of those stories.
Buson, who excelled in the "haiga"-style, forsook realism, and instead painted his "yōkai" in a manner that uniquely resembles modern Japanese "manga". Most traditional paintings of "yōkai" from Japan's mediaeval period (1185–1568) portrayed them as supernatural beings, the fearful harbingers of disaster, but works from the Edo period (1603–1868), including Buson's, paint them as familiar, funny, creatures that can be enjoyed as fiction. This trend continues in modern "yōkai" manga, which have their origins in Edo period works like Buson's.
