Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892), one of the leading ukiyo-e artists during the Meiji Era (1868-1912), was well known for his diversity of subjects ranging from historical figures to bijin-ga (images of beautiful women).
Throughout his life Tsukioka also depicted yōkai (supernatural beings), and it has been said that he was not only a good scary story teller, but had also had seen such creatures himself.
One hundred exhibits are on display, with highlights being two Tsukioka masterpieces: "One Hundred Ghost Stories of China and Japan," a set of 26 early prints, and "New Forms of Thirty-six Ghosts," which he created later in life.
