Description
A dark indigo demon with wild, upswept hair and raised clawed hands looms at upper left beside a white skeletal figure at upper right, both set against swirling orange flame-like forms. Below them, a sinuous green serpentine creature coils near a red, muscular oni with a snarling grimace and bulging eyes, while a figure in white robes with dark hair crouches on the ground at bottom center amid the surrounding creatures, all rendered in black outline on cream paper with a vertical column of text along the right margin. The print is titled "One Hundred Pictures by Kyôsai (Kyôsai hyakuzu)," by Kawanabe Kyosai, woodblock print, year unknown.
