Yamamba : in search of the Japanese mountain witch / edited by Rebecca Copeland and Linda C. Ehrlich. Berkeley, California : Stone Bridge Press, [2021] Subjects Folklore -- Japan.   Witches -- Folkore.   Witches in literature. ISBN:  9781611720662 (paperback) : 1611720664 (paperback) Description:  144 pages : illustrations ; 21 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  Alluring, nurturing, dangerous, and vulnerable the yamamba, or Japanese mountain witch, has intrigued audiences for centuries. What is it about the fusion of mountains with the solitary old woman that produces such an enigmatic figure? And why does she still call to us in this modern, scientific era? Co-editors Rebecca Copeland and Linda C. Ehrlich first met the yamamba in the powerful short story "The Smile of the Mountain Witch" by acclaimed woman writer Ōba Minako. The story revealed the compelling way creative women can take charge of misogynistic tropes, invert them, and use them to tell new stories of female empowerment. This unique collection represents the creative and surprising ways artists and scholars from North America and Japan have encountered the yamamba.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 398.20952 Ya Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.20952 Ya Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.20952 Ya Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.20952 Ya Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 398.20952 Ya Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 398.20952 Ya Checked In Add Copy to MyList
