Kyosai Hyakki Gadan’Pictures of One Hundred Demons. Sometimes translated as’Night Parade of One Hundred Demons’, this Japanese orihon is a feast for the eyes. First published in 1890 (the year after Kyosai’s death), and in a second edition in 1895. Both editions are very scarce, especially so in good condition. When these appear at market, they are usually part of a complete series still in the orihon style of codex-with an accordion-folded structure. See my store for additional prints from the series. Center crease from original publication barely visible. The print has been mounted on a sheet of japan paper, adhered at either edge. In excellent condition with good colors, especially for age. Sheet: 7 1/2 x 9 1/4 inches.
