Found a page with art for a bunch of Japanese monsters, obscure and otherwise. Some is anime-ish, some cartoony, some other styles.

 

I can't read it worth a darn, since it's in Japanese, but BabelFish seems to think it's called "Ghost Picture Scroll". Probably since most of the monsters are various kinds of whacky Japanese ghosts.

It's probably too late to hope that Susano will stat up this one-eyed umbrella ghost in the Asian Bestiary, alas.

I asked my Japanese co-worker. She said that it was a hard word to translate and asked if it was a YuGiOh thing since that is where you see that sort of word. Anyway, she said the best translation is simply "ghost picture".

Many of the creatures depicted here are in the AB. :)

 

No, I'm not going to say which ones. :P
