FLORIDA -- The thousands of supernatural beings inhabiting Japanese cultural tradition – and American pop culture, apparently – are the subject of Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens' new exhibit, "Ghosts, Goblins and Gods: The Supernatural in Japanese Art." The showcase of artworks tackles the otherworldly creatures rooted in the Shinto and Buddhist religions, from benevolent Gods named "kami" that inhabit the natural world to evil tricksters dubbed "tengu," half-men, half-bird creatures who are hellbent on deceiving humans.
