Painting Description
"Le Fantôme de Kohada Koheiji" is a renowned woodblock print by the illustrious Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, who is celebrated for his significant contributions to the ukiyo-e genre during the Edo period. This particular artwork is part of Hokusai's series "Hyaku Monogatari" (One Hundred Ghost Stories), which delves into the supernatural and eerie folklore of Japan. Created around the early 1830s, "Le Fantôme de Kohada Koheiji" is a striking example of Hokusai's ability to blend traditional Japanese themes with his unique artistic style.
The print depicts the ghost of Kohada Koheiji, a character from a popular kabuki play who was murdered by his wife and her lover. According to the tale, Koheiji's vengeful spirit returns to haunt his killers, embodying the classic Japanese ghost story motif of yūrei, or restless spirits. Hokusai's portrayal of Koheiji is both haunting and captivating, featuring the spectral figure with disheveled hair, hollow eyes, and a skeletal visage, emerging from a mosquito net. This imagery not only evokes a sense of dread but also reflects the cultural fascination with ghost stories and the supernatural during the Edo period.
Hokusai's masterful use of line work, shading, and composition in "Le Fantôme de Kohada Koheiji" demonstrates his exceptional skill and creativity. The print's eerie atmosphere is heightened by the meticulous attention to detail and the dramatic contrast between light and shadow. This work is a testament to Hokusai's versatility as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of Japanese folklore in a visually compelling manner.
"Le Fantôme de Kohada Koheiji" remains an important piece in the study of Japanese art and culture, offering insight into the themes and narratives that captivated audiences of the time. It continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and its contribution to the rich tapestry of ukiyo-e prints.
