Bibliography[edit]

1. yokai.com/kappa/ [1]

- This is an article that Chloe's sensei suggested. The main idea is what a Kappa looks like, how it behaves and how it interacts with other yokai. We will use this to add more information about the Kappa's appearance and behavior, specifically, the quotes above.

2. Foster, Michael Dylan. “The Metamorphosis of the Kappa: Transformation of Folklore to Folklorism in Japan.” Asian Folklore Studies, vol. 57, no. 1, 1998, pp. 1–24. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/1178994.[2]

- This is a journal article found through the JSTOR advanced search through NKU's library database. The author is Michael Dylan Foster. It is already cited on the Wikipedia page, however, it is useful for other information that was not added. The main idea of this article is the characteristics of the kappa and the idea of folklorism. I thought some of the information about the concept of folklorism and how it applies to the kappa would be useful and we could add something to the "Terminology" section on the Wikipedia page.

3. “Yōkai Culture: Past, Present, Future.” Pandemonium and Parade: Japanese Monsters and the Culture of Yokai, by Michael Dylan Foster, 1st ed., University of California Press, 2009, pp. 204–216. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/10.1525/j.ctt1ppkrc.11.[3]

- This is a scholarly journal article also obtained through JSTOR, an NKU library database. The author is Michael Dylan Foster. The author discusses information about the Kappa in Japan's nation and how it is portrayed in advertisements/products, which is very different from the way the Kappa is described or portrayed otherwise. This information can be added to the "In Media" section on the Wikipedia page.

4. Deborah Shamoon. “The Yōkai in the Database: Supernatural Creatures and Folklore in Manga and Anime.” Marvels & Tales, vol. 27, no. 2, 2013, pp. 276–289. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/10.13110/marvelstales.27.2.0276. Accessed 24 Apr. 2020.[4]

- This is a scholarly journal article obtained through JSTOR. The author is Deborah Shamoon.
