"Samoerai Aoyama en het spook Okiku" is a woodblock print by Toyohara Kunichika, a prominent Japanese artist known for his dramatic compositions and vibrant colors. Created in 1892, the artwork depicts a ghostly figure, likely Okiku, a famous figure from Japanese folklore, with flowing hair in a dark and mysterious setting. This print, part of the ukiyo-e tradition, is a testament to Kunichika's mastery of the medium, using bold lines and subtle color variations to create a captivating visual narrative. The small scale of the print makes it a rare and intriguing example of Japanese woodblock art, offering viewers a glimpse into the supernatural tales and artistic trends of late 19th-century Japan.
