CONTENT

It is the first Creative Café event to collaborate with the Literature field.

“Kwaidan” is often referred to any ghost stories or horror stories, and carries the connotation of Japanese folk tales. For this time, we will invite a popular kwaidan writer, Mr. KUROKI Aruji, to talk kwaidan around Yamagata City and look back on the history of our city. 

After his kwaidan, we will provide you a horror house style night tour of the 3rd floor of Yamagata Manabikan.

During the event period, Mr. Kuroki Aruji’s books will be available at Day & Books. We will also hold an autograph session for those who purchased.
