KATSUSHIKA HOKUSAI: THE GHOST OF KOHADA KOHEIJI

By Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), signed Saki no Hokusai hitsu
Japan, Meiji period edition (1868-1912)

The ghost of Kohada Koheiji, his skeletal head with remnants of rotting flesh and hair, pulls down the mosquito net surrounding the bed of his murderous wife and her lover. The skeletal ghost wears juzu prayer beads around his neck signifying his former piety.

SIZE of the sheet 19 x 24.9 cm

Condition: Very good condition with good impression and excellent colors, slightly trimmed margins. Mounted with tapes on a paper mat.
Provenance: From an Austrian private collection.

Kohada Koheiji was a kabuki actor for the Morita-za theater. After being rejected for primary roles in the theater, he was cast as a yurei. He was thenceforth only cast as yurei, shaming his wife Otsuka. Together with her lover, an actor named Adachi Sakuro, Otsuka murdered Kohada and threw his body into a swamp.

Katsushika Hokusai (1760 – 1849) is one of the most renowned and influential artists in Japanese history. Born in Edo (now Tokyo), Hokusai began his career as an apprentice in a woodblock print shop before venturing out on his own to pursue his passion for art. Over the course of his career, Hokusai created a vast body of work that included not only woodblock prints but also paintings, sketches, and illustrated books. His oeuvre is characterized by a relentless experimentation with style and technique, as well as a deep appreciation for the natural world and the beauty of everyday life.

Museum comparison:
A near identical reprint with a similar seal and printed by the same publisher, dated ca. late 19th century, is in the British Museum, accession number 1921,0511,0.16.
