This ink drawing of a Baku, a mythical creature from Japanese folklore, is by renowned artist Katsushika Hokusai. The Baku is depicted with a thick, furry body, powerful claws, and a long, curled trunk, suggesting its ability to devour nightmares. Hokusai's detailed, expressive lines capture the Baku's fantastical nature, making this artwork a unique and intriguing representation of Japanese mythology and artistic tradition.
