  日本の幻のオオカミ：失われた山の守護神を追って

• 内容紹介

  Does the Japanese Wolf Still Roam the Mountains of Japan?
  
  Once revered as a divine guardian of crops and mountain villages, the wolf was driven to extinction as the nation hurtled toward modernization and war in the late 19th century. The last confirmed specimen was collected by an American explorer in 1905; but ever since, there have been reports of eerie howls, fleeting shadows, and mysterious tracks. Is the wolf still out there?
  
  In Phantom Wolves of Japan: In Search of a Lost Mountain Guardian, journalist Alex K.T. Martin follows the trail of this noble predator through history, myth and modern science. His journey uncovers a cast of eccentric researchers, mountain mystics, and rural eyewitnesses who refuse to believe the wolf is gone. Along the way, he explores how Japan's relationship with nature has evolved and what the fate of the wolf reveals about the cost of progress.
  
  Blending investigative reporting with folklore and cultural history, Phantom Wolves of Japan offers a deeply atmospheric exploration of one of the natural world's greatest mysteries. Whether the Japanese wolf survives or not, its ghost continues to inhabit the country's collective imagination, and its story asks us to consider what we have lost when it has gone.
