"Mitsukuni Defying the Skeleton Spectre Conjured Up by Princess Takiyasha" is a renowned woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi. Created in the mid-19th century, this print is part of Kuniyoshi's series "One Hundred and Eight Heroes of the Popular Suikoden All Told" (Tsūzoku Suikoden gōketsu hyakuhachinin no hitori), which was inspired by the Chinese novel "Shui Hu Zhuan" (Water Margin). The artwork is particularly famous for its dramatic depiction of a supernatural scene from a Japanese legend.

The print illustrates a moment from the story of Takiyasha the Witch and the Skeleton Spectre, which is set in the ruins of the Sōma Palace. Princess Takiyasha, the daughter of the rebellious Taira no Masakado, is shown summoning a gigantic skeleton to frighten Ōya no Mitsukuni, a loyal retainer of the emperor who has come to quell the rebellion. Mitsukuni, however, stands his ground fearlessly, confronting the spectral apparition with a calm and defiant expression.

Kuniyoshi's work is characterized by its dynamic composition, vivid detail, and the imaginative use of negative space to create the towering figure of the skeleton. The print is a testament to Kuniyoshi's skill in blending elements of Japanese folklore with the popular culture of the Edo period, and it is often cited as a prime example of the artist's fascination with the supernatural and the macabre.

As a masterpiece of ukiyo-e, "Mitsukuni Defying the Skeleton Spectre Conjured Up by Princess Takiyasha" has been widely studied and admired for its artistic qualities and its place within the context of Japanese art history. The print remains an influential piece of Japanese visual culture and continues to be celebrated for its striking imagery and its evocative portrayal of themes of bravery and the supernatural.
