Kawanabe Kyosai (183189) was only 6 years old when he joined the school of the great ukiyoe 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 sakedrinking habit, which could account for the more bizarre extremes of his chosen subject matter in particular, weird demons and the bloody tortures of Hell. Kyosai can now be regarded as not only one of the last true ukiyoe masters, but also as one of the first truly modernist painters of Japan. Night Parade Of Hell Creatures , edited by Jack Hunter (who also edited the groundbreaking extreme ukiyoe anthology Dream Spectres ), collects and considers over 100 of Kyosai s most innovative, demented and bizarre images including multiple yokai, ghosts and demons presented in largeformat and fullcolour throughout.The Ukiyoe Master Series: presenting seminal collections of art by the greatest printdesigners and painters of Edoperiod and Meijiperiod Japan.
