EDITORS COMMENTS
Suma Urabe Suetake Meeting a Ghost with a Child" is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, created in the 1860s during the Edo period. This print is part of the series "One Hundred Ghost Tales from China and Japan," which showcases various ghost stories from both countries. In this particular print, we see the famous Japanese poet Suma Urabe Suetake, dressed in elegant Heian period clothing, encountering a ghost with a child. The ghost, depicted as an emaciated figure with a long, flowing robe and a hat, greets Suetake with a child in tow. The child, wearing a simple kimono and geta, looks curiously at the poet. The scene is set against a backdrop of a serene landscape, with Mount Fuji in the distance, adding to the sense of otherworldliness. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns of the clothing, the delicate brushstrokes of the calligraphy, and the realistic depiction of the ghost's gaunt features. The print is a stunning example of the ukiyo-e tradition, which flourished in Japan during the Edo period and focused on the depiction of the natural world, literature, and the human condition. The use of color woodblock printing techniques adds depth and texture to the image, making it a true masterpiece of Japanese art. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and its enduring fascination with the supernatural. It invites us to explore the realms of the afterlife and the mysteries of the unknown, all while showcasing the beauty and elegance of Japanese art and fashion during the Heian and Edo periods.
