Description: Kyosai Hyakki Gadan 'Pictures of One Hundred Demons' One of the woodblocks from the scarce masterpiece by Kawanabe Kyosai (1831-1889), nicknamed 'The Painting Demon'. 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. I purchased an incomplete volume, so this is a rare opportunity to purchase an individual print. (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.
