Utagawa YOSHIIKU (1833 – 1904)

Series: Hyakumonogatari (One Hundred Tales) Signature: Maruyama Mondo Date: 1890 The splendidly creepy ghost of a woman appears, purple lips curling back from her gums and eyes half-slitted. She is dressed as the dead are, in a white shroud and with a bag (zudabukuro) hung around her neck. As this is a respectful copy of a painting done by the incomparable Maruyama Ôkyo, on the lower left is the signature Maruyama Mondo, one of Ôkyo's pseudonyms. Condition: Excellent impression, color and condition Original Japanese Woodblock Print, Size: Chuban (25 x 18,7 cm)
