I spent my schooldays from junior high to college at a Catholic school not for religious reasons but for my mother’s vanity. She wanted me to attend the most prestigious school in Kyoto in order to brag about it. With no religious background, I encountered quite a few unfamiliar events at school that held Catholic ceremonies regularly. The school often celebrated the Mass, which was an entirely new and different culture to me and I hadn’t the slightest idea what they were doing. Christian students sat in the front row with white lace veils on their heads at the assembly hall. The priest...

And, of course… Azuki. The tanuki who refuses to ...

Tokyo’s urban legends favour the familiar: a station name, a carriage number, a school corridor, a crossing in the rain. Neon Crossings follows the stories that cling to those details—tales passed through classrooms, commuter lines, late-night streets, and screens that should have been closed. Entries are brief and readable, set beside earlier recorded traces where they exist, with notes on recurring variants and locations when the trail can be followed. Black-and-white ink drawings sharpen the mood. This volume keeps to Tokyo at street level and after hours—where a small, ordinary ...
