Night Parade of Hell Creatures: Bizarre Demonic Art by Kyosai

Ukiyo-E Master Series, Volume Seven

Edited by Jack Hunter

Kawanabe Kyosai (1831-1889) is regarded as one of Japan's greatest painters and print-makers. Night Parade Of Hell Creatures collects and considers over 100 of Kyosai's most innovative, demented and bizarre images including multiple yokai, ghosts, and demons all presented in large-format and full-color.

Kawanabe Kyosai was only 6 years old when he joined the school of the great Ukiyo-e master Utagawa Kuniyoshi, along with such fellow pupils as Yoshitoshi, who followed him in 1850. Later Kyosai studied traditional Japanese painting at the Kano school. As befits this varied apprenticeship, Kyosai would embrace many styles and methods during his artistic career. His eclectic approach may also be partly attributable to a legendary sake-drinking habit, which could account for the more bizarre extremes of his chosen subject matter - in particular, weird demons and the bloody tortures of Hell.
