Ghost of Kohada Koheiji ☳ Hokusai ☴ Art Print
The Ghost of Kohada Koheiji (1832) by Katsushika Hokusai is from his ukiyo-e woodblock series One Hundred Ghost Stories, although only five prints are known to exist. This print depicts a scene from the story of Kohada Koheiji, a kabuki actor who was drowned by his wife's lover but came back for revenge, killing her and driving the lover to madness then suicide. Here, the skeletal ghost of Kohada Koheiji pulls down the mosquito net and peers at the sleeping couple in their bed. The tale was popular in the 18th century, inspiring a novel and several kabuki plays.

Art prints are created from a giclée print on archival heavyweight paper that can be mounted in a frame. Different paper finishes allow you to customize the appearance: smooth paper maintains detail and color; textured paper slightly softens color with a traditional paper finish; and resin coated paper slightly deepens color adding a semi-gloss finish. Framed prints do not come with protective glass / glazing, to showcase the paper and reduce light reflection (it is available upon request).
