That illustration is by Kuniyoshi Utagawa, but if you find about Japanese spirits, most recommend Shigeru Mizuki. Complete “Yōkai” (Japanese spirits) Picture book (not translated): https://www.amazon.com/dp/4062776022/ Gegege-no-Kitarō, Yōkai themed Manga: https://www.amazon.com/dp/477002827X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_cScdCbYC37WYN …

and I like a photo book by Charles Fréger, “YOKAI NO SHIMA” http://www.charlesfreger.com/books/

Crikey! I remember being told a story about how Rathlin Island fisherman would warn passengers to respect the sea during boat trips - if you fell in, they would let the ocean take you... otherwise it would come back for one of their crew.

Pikmin's plot is based on this folkloric creature, too ! (well, it's a pretty cool theory, at least)
