"The Ghost of Okiku at Sarayashiki" is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Kinzaburo Yoshitoshi, also known simply as Yoshitoshi. Yoshitoshi, who lived from 1839 to 1892, is celebrated for his innovative and often dramatic approach to ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through the 19th centuries. This particular work is part of Yoshitoshi's broader oeuvre that frequently delves into themes of folklore, ghost stories, and the supernatural, reflecting the cultural fascination with yūrei (ghosts) and kaidan (ghost stories) during the Edo and Meiji periods.

The print depicts the tragic figure of Okiku, a character from the famous Japanese ghost story "Banchō Sarayashiki" (The Dish Mansion at Banchō). According to the legend, Okiku was a servant who was falsely accused of breaking one of a set of ten valuable dishes. Despite her innocence, she was punished severely, leading to her death. Her spirit, unable to find peace, is said to haunt the well where she met her demise, counting the dishes over and over, eternally seeking the missing one.

Yoshitoshi's portrayal of Okiku captures the haunting beauty and sorrow of the character, utilizing his signature style that combines intricate detail with emotional intensity. The print is notable for its use of color, composition, and the evocative expression of Okiku's ghostly form, which conveys a sense of both ethereal grace and lingering anguish. This work is a testament to Yoshitoshi's skill in bringing traditional stories to life through his art, and it remains a significant piece within the context of Japanese art history and the ukiyo-e tradition.
