Night Parade of Dead Souls: Japanese Ghost Paintings
Ukiyo-e Master Series : Volume Ten
The first book of its kind to be published in English, collects over 70 of the most striking and disturbing Japanese ghost images, and offers an essential glimpse into the twilight strata of Japanese art, popular myth, and religious belief. The artists featured range from obscure painters to the venerated ukiyo-e artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, who created numerous ghost paintings around 1880. All the paintings, which range in date fromn 1750 to the early 20th century, are shown at full-page length, and in full colour throughout.
