Experience the supernatural charm of Hokusai's "The
Plate Mansion (Sara-yashiki)" with this textured wood print.
About the Artwork
"The Plate Mansion" is a haunting woodblock print
from Hokusai's "One Hundred Ghost Stories" series, created circa
1830. This masterpiece brings to life the chilling tale of Okiku, a maid
unjustly accused of breaking a valuable plate. Hokusai's exceptional artistry
transforms Okiku's spirit into a serpentine creature composed of plates,
embodying the concept of tsukumogami - everyday items gaining a spirit after a
century. The print captures the eerie fusion of human and object, rendered with
Hokusai's characteristic bold lines and vivid colors. As you gaze upon this
work, you can almost hear the ghostly counting of plates, leading to the
bone-chilling shriek that echoes through Japanese folklore. Hokusai's skillful
portrayal invites viewers to contemplate the thin veil between the mundane and
the supernatural, evoking a profound sense of unease and fascination with the
unknown.
