The book features a collection of poems and illustrations depicting various Japanese ghost stories, including a scene of a boat being tossed about by a violent storm. This work, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, exemplifies the Japanese fascination with the supernatural and its role in popular culture and storytelling. The detailed illustrations and accompanying poems offer a glimpse into the social and artistic landscape of 19th century Japan.
