This index defines a creative interpretation domain adjacent to Japanese folklore. It collects folklore-inspired entities created through later reinterpretation, modern storytelling, and artistic reimagining — concepts rooted in folkloric motifs but not preserved as historical tradition.
Entries in this domain are clearly labeled as interpretative creations, designed to preserve distinction between documented folklore and modern rework. This section exists to show folklore as a living culture that continues to evolve.
When entries are added, each page will include (1) the folkloric motif it draws from, (2) what is historically documented versus reimagined, and (3) why the reinterpretation matters today.
