This woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai depicts the Japanese Yokai, Rokurokubi, a creature that can stretch its neck to an inhuman length. The image shows the Rokurokubi, a woman with her neck extended to reach a pipe, while a seated woman in the foreground appears to be startled by its sudden appearance. Hokusai was a prolific artist, and his works, like this one, are considered to be among the most important examples of Japanese art.
