June 2023 Updates

In the June 2023 Updates, like we mentioned last month we wanted to use the month of May to make everything a little more consistent on the website and change terms such as God/Deity/Spirit to all be matching and use the term kami as this is the Japanese term for Gods in the Shinto faith.

This has now been done, though it did take some time. Oh! And we are starting to add the ability for you to donate to the website to help us keep the lights on for the website and help us continue with our research. So if you find this a useful website please consider donating.

And with the remaining time we have had for this month we finished off all the yokai in the first volume of the Konjaku Hyakki Shūi by Toriyama Sekien.

That’s all for now. We hope you all have a lovely June! And please all enjoy the new content in the June 2023 Updates.
