It presents a browsable yokai encyclopedia (traditional \u0026 modern), an interactive **[Yokai Diagnosis](https://yokai.jp/diagnosis)** quiz, an online **[Yokai Shrine](https://yokai.jp/shrine)** (omikuji, ema, visit flow), and [kid-friendly pages](https://kids.yokai.jp). The site also publishes frequently updated **Daily Yokai** entries and other interactive features.\n\nThis repository provides a machine-readable extract of that yokai catalog.\n\n---\n\n## Status \u0026 Disclaimers\n\n- **Language:** Currently **Japanese only** (`metadata.language = \"ja\"`).  \n  English and other languages will be added in future releases.\n\n- **Stability:** The dataset is **unstable**. Field names, structures, IDs, and content **may change at any time**.  \n  Treat this as a **prototype/reference**, not a production API.\n\n- **Accuracy \u0026 Scope:** Traditional yokai vary by region, source, and era.  \n  Entries **are not academically authoritative** and may be incomplete or simplified.  \n  **Do not use for rigorous scholarship or serious factual claims.** This is a cultural dataset intended for exploration.\n\n- **Alignment:** The data **tracks** the content at **yokai.jp/yokai**; when the site evolves, this dataset may follow.\n\n- **Types (`yokaiType`):**\n  - `traditional` — entities drawn from folklore, classical texts, and historical imagery  \n  - `daily` — modern yokai **created by YOKAI.JP** for contemporary/interactive contexts\n\n- **Roadmap:** Upcoming versions may add **source citations (出典)**, extended references, and richer metadata.\n\n---\n\n## Data Model (overview)\n\nTop-level fields (example from `metadata` in `v0.1.0`):\n\n```json\n{\n  \"metadata\": {\n    \"language\": \"ja\",\n    \"version\": \"0.1.0\",\n    \"generatedAt\": \"2025-09-09T06:44:28.749Z\",\n    \"totalSpecies\": 141,\n    \"totalVersions\": 145,\n    \"totalImages\": 156,\n    \"description\": \"YOKAI.JP Open Dataset - Japanese Yokai Species and Versions\",\n    \"license\": \"CC BY-SA 4.0\",\n    \"sourceUrl\": \"https://yokai.jp\",\n    \"githubUrl\": \"https://github.com/glorylab/yokai-jp\"\n  }\n}\n```\n\nEach item in `species[]` typically includes:\n\n- `slug` — stable identifier (e.g., karakasa-kozou)\n- `name` — primary Japanese name\n- `nameKana` — reading\n- `aliases[]` — alternative names (optionally with readings)\n- `category` — loose classification\n- `yokaiType` — traditional or original\n- `origin` — brief provenance (when applicable)\n- `baseDescription` — short description (JP)\n- `versions[]` — variant records (e.g., traditional iconography vs. modern reinterpretation)\n  - `slug`, `versionName`, `description`, etc.\n\n\u003e Note: Field presence and semantics may evolve as the site evolves.\n\n## Use Cases\n\n- Cultural/educational apps or demos\n- Creative coding and prototyping (cards, quizzes, timelines)\n- Language learning experiments (kana, aliases)\n- Lightweight NLP/playful analysis of folklore terms\n\nFor long-form articles, illustrations, and interactive experiences, please visit [yokai.jp](https://yokai.jp).\n\n## License\n\nCreative Commons Attribution–ShareAlike 4.0 (CC BY-SA 4.0)\n\nYou may share and adapt the data with attribution and under the same license.\n\nSee the full legal text: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/\n\nAttribution example:\n“Data from YOKAI.JP – Open Dataset of Japanese Yokai (CC BY-SA 4.0).”\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome — corrections (readings/aliases), additions, translations, or ideas for structure.\n\nPlease open an Issue or submit a Pull Request.\n\nBecause the dataset mirrors site content, structural changes may be considered on a case-by-case basis.\n\n## Contact\n\nFor inquiries (including commercial or partnership questions), please reach out via [yokai.jp/contact](https://yokai.jp/contact).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fglorylab%2Fyokai-jp","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fglorylab%2Fyokai-jp","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fglorylab%2Fyokai-jp/lists"}
