yokai and kaiju anatomy drawings

Otaku! heads up!... first is Yōkai Daizukai, an illustrated guide to yōkai authored by manga artist Shigeru Mizuki... it features a collection of cutaway diagrams showing the anatomy of 85 traditional monsters from Japanese folklore (which also appear in Mizuki’s GeGeGe no Kitarō anime/manga). Check this article from Pink Tentacle to see a few of the illustrations and translations...

Next up checkout Flickr user modern_fred’s Japanese movie monster scan collection includes a few vintage illustrations detailing the innards of Godzilla and other famous kaiju. Translations here again via Pink Tentacle's article...
