About the Artwork
"The Ghost of Oiwa" is a captivating woodblock
print created by Hokusai as part of his "One Hundred Ghost Stories"
series circa 1830. This artwork brings to life one of Japan's most famous ghost
stories, the Yotsuya Kaidan. Hokusai masterfully portrays the vengeful spirit
of Oiwa, a betrayed wife, possessing a paper lantern. Her disfigured face,
eerily illuminated, seems to float in the darkness, creating a chilling
atmosphere. The lantern bears an inscription praising Amida Buddha, while
Oiwa's forehead is marked with a Buddhist seed syllable, adding layers of
religious symbolism to the already potent image of supernatural vengeance.
Through meticulous detail and bold use of contrast, Hokusai captures not just a
ghost story, but the essence of karmic justice and the enduring power of
wronged spirits. "The Ghost of Oiwa" is an ode to the intersection of
folklore, religion, and the human psyche, allowing you to peer into the depths
of Japanese supernatural beliefs.
