Japanese Edo Woodblock Print Yoshitoshi Hundred Ghost Nikki Danjo Rat
item#: 1320092
price: SOLD
Japanese Edo period woodblock print by Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) depicting Nikki Danjo Naonori changing into a rat from the series "One Hundred Ghost Stories of China and Japan" (Wakan hyaku monogatari ) published by Daikoku-ya Kinnosuke (Kinjiro) in 1865. Vertical oban size (14 1/4"V x 9 5/8"H). Very good overall condition and color with margins evident. The print was removed from an album and is lightly album backed and slightly trimmed. The image has a prominent horizontal centerfold as the album was constructed with each print folded in half. There is some wear at the margin edges (particularly at the edges of the centerfold) and some faint crinkling of the paper at the fold. This image is listed and illustrated in "Demons from the Haunted World: Supernatural Art by Yoshitoshi," edited by Jack Hunter, Shinbaku Books, 2012. From a Scottsdale, Arizona collection.
