Kyōsai: The Israel Goldman Collection

Night procession of one hundred demons

The painter’s humorous and imaginative works satirize Shogunate rule with paintings of monsters, drawing on both history and various folk cultures. His paintings are distinctive in their individuality and do not adhere to the traditional style of painting. The lines of the figures, the representational nature of the paintings, and the vividness of the figures’ limbs and expressions, are all very interesting!
