The text reads: \"Masayuki was the eldest son of Tachibana Masashige and the finest general of Nanchō [Southern Dynasty]. One night when he was a little boy, he went down to the garden to try out a wooden horse. O, how strange, a monster appeared [from the wooden horse] and menaced Masayuki. Without showing any sign of fear, the boy sprang upon the monster and stabbed him to death. People rushed out to examine the monster, which turned out to be an old badger.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/strong\u003eDaikokuya Kinnosuke (Kinjirô)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1865\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e36.3 x 24 cm (14 5\/16 x 9 7\/16 in.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Good color and impression, not backed.
