Ayakashi : Japanese Classic Horror
Ayakashi: Classic Japanese Horror retells classic Japanese Horror Tales, with Ykai sharing tragic tales. The short arc from which Mononoke is originated, Bakeneko, is its most famous attribute. It has a runtime of eleven episodes and is divided into three independent storylines, each with a distinctive animation style: A version of the traditional Japanese ghost story about betrayal, murder, and afterlife vengeance is called Yotsuya Kaidan (Yotsuya Ghost Story). The author is Chiaki Konaka. Tenshu Monogatari (Goddess of the Dark Tower), a Kabuki performance by Kyaka Izumi from the Meiji era. It narrates the tale of a god and a human who fall in love but cannot be together. A character named Bake Neko (Goblin Cat), the third and final arc, is about the appearance of a Mononoke and its explanation for attacking the family that the story is focused on. Later, it was continued on in Mononoke, where the Medicine Peddler acts as the main character.
