I. Love. This. I've been using this for alot of encounters in my homebrew based loosely on the Sengoku period of japan. My players also have gotten an insane amount of fun out of the encounters with these yokai!
Art isn't bad but is the lower point of the entire compendium in regards to tokens for these beasties, but I can appreciate how alot of it is based off old japanese art of said yokai.
The stats are... interesting. I feel like a few of these were made with the idea that CR is kinda BS to use as a base and some of these Yokai can be absurdly deadly, but if players crave a challenge then this will definitely give it to them.
Also the accurate lore of the yokai which is a great quick reference for me when players ask about some of these creatures either IC or OOC. I knew alot about Kappas, but not much about Tengu which thankfully this helped fill that gap without me needing to go to google or youtube.
All in all, if you like Yokai as a whole just to throw in to your games or like me are basing your entire game around something like this it is more than worth what you pay for it.
