Yoshitoshi's Thirty-Six Ghosts - In this incredible series, Yoshitoshi illustrated thirty-six of his favorite tales from Japanese history and legend. From charming folk stories to bloody tales of revenge, the series is the work of the artist's maturity and Yoshitoshi explores the subjects with great subtlety and psychological perception. As interesting to Yoshitoshi as the ghosts and monsters, are the human beings to whom they appear. Yoshitoshi was immensely popular in the last years of his life and the ghost series was greeted with great enthusiasm and a rush to collect among the Japanese public. Today, prints from Yoshitoshi's Thirty-Six Ghost series are some of the most highly sought after prints on the market. A wonderful area of collecting for the Yoshitoshi enthusiast. The Fox-Woman Kuzunoha Leaving Her Child, No. 20 - Foxes were often in possession of magical powers and could transform into other beings at will. In the story illustrated a fox was saved from hunters by Abe no Yasuna. Soon after Abe met and married a beautiful girl who bore him a son. Of course, the girl was actually the fox transformed. Yoshitoshi illustrates the woman/fox being in a unique way. In the shadow of the translucent paper on the sliding screen door the muzzle of the fox is shown. The young son of the couple trails after his mother on the floor. A fantastic image.
