An anthology of four nightmarish folk tales adapted from Lafcadio Hearn's classic Japanese ghost stories about mortals caught up in forces beyond their comprehension when the supernatural world intervenes in their lives.

Breathtakingly photographed entirely on hand-painted sets, the film is an abstract wash of luminescent colours from another world.

- Survey of the life of director Masaki Kobayashi along with a wide-ranging and final ever interview with the filmmaker
- Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork.
