Immerse yourself in the chilling world of Hokusai's
"The Ghost of Kohada Koheiji (Kohada Koheiji)" with this exquisite
poster.
About the Artwork
"The Ghost of Kohada Koheiji" is a spine-chilling
woodblock print from Hokusai's "One Hundred Ghost Stories" series,
crafted circa 1830. This piece illustrates the tale of Kohada Koheiji, a kabuki
actor murdered by his unfaithful wife and her lover. Hokusai's exceptional
technique brings to life Koheiji's skeletal apparition, surrounded by ghostly
flames, peering through a mosquito net at the guilty couple. The artist's use
of the mosquito net as a barrier between the living and the dead creates a
palpable sense of impending doom. The stark contrast between Koheiji's bony
figure and the implied presence of the living couple heightens the horror of
the scene. As you study this print, you'll find yourself drawn into a world
where betrayal leads to relentless supernatural retribution. Hokusai's skillful
portrayal invites viewers to contemplate the consequences of deceit and the
enduring nature of vengeance, evoking a profound sense of unease and moral
reckoning.
