Just starting out!

First post!
The rest of my posts will be Japanese ghost stories, folklore and urban legends- in their original Japanese forms and in my English translations.
So I suppose just a little bit about me; I've just graduated from a university in the UK, with a degree in Japanese Studies. My main interest throughout my studies has been ghost stories and folklore, as I am a very big fan of Japanese horror cinema. I spent one year living in Japan and studying at Keio University in Tokyo. It was during this year that I picked up a lot of my material. In my final year at university, I completed a 12,000 word dissertation on the representation of women in Japanese horror film, in comparison to that of Hollywood and remakes of Asian horror.
