Yoshitoshi's 36 Ghost Stories
Season 3, Episode 10, Dec 31, 2021, 01:52 AM
Art of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi - 36 Ghosts wood block prints, Ukiyo-e
Yoshitoshi's 36 Ghost woodblock prints are the focus of this episode. I’ve read he wanted to create 100, but there are 36 Ghost woodblock prints and I’ve heard the “ghost” expression may not be an entirely accurate translation especially as you dig into the stories. There are some ghosts, but there are other “strange” things depicted including demons. (Ukiyo-e)
