The print depicts the magical Kurozome, who has manifested as the spirit of the Komachi cherry tree.
Tsukioka Yoshitoshi is a prominent Japanese woodblock print artist of the late 19th century. In this series, Yoshitoshi explores a variety of supernatural creatures or 'yokai', each rendered with a blend of meticulous detail and emotional intensity.
The characters are realistically drawn, conveying real emotion and individuality. Horror and violence are often suggested, rather than graphically depicted, reflecting a restraint characteristic of Yoshitoshi's mature style. The borders are designed to look ragged and worm-eaten, implying a sense of age and perhaps decay.
Yoshitoshi was immensely popular in the last years of his life and the imaginative ghost series was greeted with great enthusiasm and a rush to collect among the Japanese public. The first designs from the series appeared in 1889, with the final prints issued shortly after Yoshitoshi's death in July 1892. From evil spirits and magic animals to heroes triumphing over demons, these macabre and dark subjects continue to fascinate the public today.
His works are in the collection of museums including Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Edo-Tokyo Museum.
