"Kohada Koheiji" is a famous ukiyo-e woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, who lived from 1760 to 1849. This print is part of Hokusai's series "Hyaku Monogatari" (One Hundred Ghost Stories), which was created around 1831-1832. The series illustrates various ghosts and supernatural themes, drawing inspiration from Japanese folklore and legends.

The image of Kohada Koheiji is particularly striking and has garnered attention for its depiction of a vengeful spirit. The story behind the print tells of a kabuki actor named Kohada Koheiji, who specialized in playing ghost roles. According to the tale, Koheiji was murdered by his wife and her lover, who drowned him in a swamp. His ghost returns from the dead to haunt them, seeking retribution for his untimely death.

In Hokusai's depiction, the ghost of Koheiji is shown emerging from a dark swamp, with his skeletal hands gripping a torn mosquito net, through which he menacingly peers. The print is characterized by its chilling atmosphere and the detailed rendering of Koheiji's ghastly visage, which reflects Hokusai's skill in capturing the eerie and otherworldly aspects of Japanese ghost stories.

"Kohada Koheiji" is not only a testament to Hokusai's mastery of the ukiyo-e genre but also an important cultural artifact that offers insight into the Edo period's fascination with the supernatural. The print remains a subject of study for scholars interested in Japanese art, folklore, and the evolution of ghost narratives in the country's visual culture.
