Kyōsai’s Pictures of One Hundred Demons (Kyōsai hyakki gadan 暁斎百鬼画談)
Kyōsai's Pictures of One Hundred Demons is a Japanese illustrated book of yōkai and demon sketches by Kawanabe Gyōsai, published in Tokyo in 1890 by Inoguchi Matsunosuke for a general reading public. Its pages show monsters, goblins and supernatural creatures in loose ink and pale colour wash, with the plain page borders of a printed woodblock book. A designer might take from them the energetic, gestural line and playful grotesque character typical of Meiji-era yōkai imagery.
