Yoshtoshi - One Hundred Ghost Stories from China and Japan

Yoshtoshi - One Hundred Ghost Stories from China and Japan

Tsukioka Yoshitoshi

Watanabe Genji Tsuna, from the series One Hundred Ghost Stories from China and Japan (Wakan hyaku monogatari)「和漢百物語 渡辺源治綱」

Watanabe no Tsune approaches Rashomon gate on horseback during a heavy downpour. He's carrying a sign which says “Kinsei” (prohibited) to place by the gate. Later he encounters the demon Ibaraki and cuts off her arm in a fight.

This series dates from early in Yoshitoshi's career. It was one of his first major series, and his first to illustrate ghosts. It was an ambitious attempt by Yoshitoshi, but only 26 of the 100 prints were ever published. The series was based upon a game where fearsome stories are told by candlelight - one light being extinguished after each story told.
