Taiso Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) was fascinated by the supernatural,
and some of his best work concerns ghosts, monsters, and charming
animal transmutations. Yoshitoshi's strange tales presents two
series (with full page illustrations) that focus on his depictions
of the weird and magical world of the transformed. The first series
is One Hundred Tales of Japan and China (Wakan hyaku monogatari,
1865) and it is based on a game in which people told short scary
ghost tales in a darkened room, extinguishing a candle as each tale
ended. New Forms of Thirty-six Strange Things (Shinken
sanjurokkaisen) of 1889-92 illustrates stories from Japan's rich
heritage of legends in more serene and objective ways.
