Kawanabe Kyōsai was called the demon of painting, an artist of famous speed and wilder reputation, and his Pictures of One Hundred Demons (Hyakki Gadan), issued in book form in 1890, the year after his death, is his monster parade: an accordion book whose spreads fill with yokai. Our print reproduces one spread in full, the two pages and their fold kept as the book presents them: a small demon in a tall black hat rides a shaggy beast by the bridle, a pink-furred creature levels a long spear, and a third marches hidden inside a blue-green robe patterned with maple leaves, all drawn in the loose, delighted line of a man who never met a demon he did not enjoy.

This impression is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Our reproduction is made from that source file, printed on thick matte paper. The design is horizontal, so it is printed centered on the sheet with white above and below, in the manner of a mat.

More about this wall art poster print:

Kawanabe Kyōsai was famous in his lifetime for speed, disorder, and a line that could barely keep pace with his imagination, and demons were his home ground. This print reproduces one opening of his Pictures of One Hundred Demons, published in 1890 as an accordion book: a small demon in a tall black hat rides a shaggy beast by its bridle, a pink-furred spearman strides alongside, and a third marcher hides inside a blue-green robe patterned with maple leaves. The strokes are rapid, comic, and assured.

It brings a note of mischief wherever it hangs: a study, a library, or any room that takes itself a little too seriously. Viewers lean in to sort out which demon is which, and the fold of the book, kept down the middle, starts the conversation about an artist his contemporaries half believed was one of his own subjects.
