Over the centuries, they have been used to represent fears, unexplained phenomena, strange creatures and even objects that come to life.<\/p>\n<p>Some are frightening; others are comical or curious. This variety explains why yokai continue to appear in books, manga, anime, games and films.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mostra\">What the Yokai Parade exhibition is like<\/h2>\n<p>According to CCBB, the exhibition is coming to Brazil for the first time and presents yokai depicted in very different formats, from traditional illustrated scrolls to contemporary animated works.<\/p>\n<p>The 84 works in total help trace how these figures have changed over time, showing how they went from feared creatures to fascinating characters that continue to feature prominently in Japanese culture.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"nucleos\">The four thematic sections<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Spectacular World of Yokai Picture Scrolls:<\/strong> presents the tradition of illustrated scrolls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Colorful World of Yokai:<\/strong> showcases different visual representations of these creatures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yokai and Toys\/Leisure:<\/strong> explores the presence of supernatural beings in objects and entertainment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yokai Passed Down to the Present Day:<\/strong> traces the continued presence of these figures in contemporary culture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"ingressos\">Is admission to the Yokai Parade exhibition free?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Yes.<\/strong> Admission is free.
