An exhibition in Japan explores the country's history with dangerous unidentified animals.
Stories of creatures powerful enough to kill humans - even a dozen well-armed samurai - have been a part of Japanese folklore and culture for over a hundred years. The new exhibition explores this history and raises questions about what these creatures really were.Stories of man eating creatures inhabiting the waterways of Japan have been around since the time of the samurai. At an exhibition at the Kawasaki City Museum entitled “Japan’s Mythical Creatures- Accounts of Unidentified Organisms,” there was a curious old account from 1834 concerning a strange and terrifying animal lurking in a marshland near Tokyo, Japan.
