大英博物館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (大英博物館Instagram)「👻 Step into the supernatural with a haunting Japanese folktale 💀 This skeletal spectre is the vengeful ghost of Kohada Koheji. Murdered by his unfaithful wife and her callous lover, Koheji is shown preparing to give his sleeping spouse the fright of her life! 😱 It was intended as one from a series of 100 macabre designs featuring characters from well-known scary stories. Hokusai was likely inspired by a party game called ‘Hyaku monogatari’ or ‘100 ghost tales’ – we’ve shared the rules for anyone planning a Halloween fright… 🌙 In the dead of night, gather with friends. Each person brings a candle. 🕯 One by one, tell a scary story. As their story concludes, the narrator must extinguish their flame. 👻 After the final wick is snuffed out, ghosts are said to emerge from the darkness… This petrifying print is the work of Katsushika Hokusai, who was born #OnThisDay in 1760. 🔎 Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), ‘Kohada Koheiji’ from the series ‘100 Ghost Tales’. Colour woodblock print on paper, from Japan, around 1833. #BritishMuseum #FrightAtTheMuseum #OTD」11月1日 3時00分
