Production Notes
This stained glass was produced based on the original drawing which was reconstructed from the various Yokai-monsters’ appearances drawn by Mr. Shigeru Mizuki. It is a new symbol of “Yonago Kitaro Airport” renewed in 2016. Yokai-monsters competing for individuality will talk to many visitors at the airport as a people’s exchanging place from the forest of Mr. Mizuki’s home.

Artist's Comments
Message from Ms. Nunoe Mura, who is Mr. Shigeru Mizuki’s widow :
I am very pleased that such a splendid stained glass with Yokai-monster has been made at Yonago Kitaro Airport.
From now on, a lot of Yokai-monsters will watch over the safety of everyone’s journey.
I think Mizuki is surely pleased also. Thank you very much.
