This frightening print illustrates the story of Kohada Koheiji, a Kabuki actor who was drowned by his wife’s lover but later came back to haunt the couple. The tale was popular in the 18th century, eventually inspiring a novel and several Kabuki plays. Here, the skeletal ghost of Kohada Koheiji pulls down the mosquito net and eerily peers at the sleeping couple in their bed.

Vase of Flowers

這幅作品被命名為《昆侖松鶴》。昆侖是指神仙們居住的神山——昆侖山。據推測位於中國西部，是中國的大河——黃河的源頭。松和鶴都是長壽的象徵，是和神仙故事頗有關聯的題材。畫面右上方有畫家的署名，並寫著送給一位叫做李懷素的人。以昆侖山上的松樹以及聚集在此的仙鶴為繪畫題材的這幅作品主題極為吉祥，作為賀壽之禮極為相稱。作者呂健是活躍於十六世紀到十七世紀的人物。其曾祖父呂紀是一位著名的宮廷畫家。呂紀有很多構圖周密的大型花鳥圖作品，其華麗的色彩和細膩的筆法不僅在中國，也在朝鮮半島和日本大受追捧，呂紀的繪畫風格在東亞地區到了廣泛傳播。呂健不僅認真學習呂紀的花鳥畫，似乎還將其轉化成了更加瀟灑而又惹人憐愛的表現。這幅作品中姿態優美地彎曲著長頸的仙鶴以及以淡綠色輕輕暈開的松葉都充分表現出了呂健的審美觀。淡淡的墨影巧妙地表現出水面上湧起的波浪，以極具透明感的白色顏料細緻描繪的羽毛線條等卓越的描寫技術也是看點所在。

Symbols of Longevity: Deer under Peach and Pine (Pine) (right)

This print illustrates the legend of a woman murdered by her husband because she accidentally broke plates. Her corpse and the pieces of the dishes were thrown into a well, but her ghost returned every night to haunt him in the eerie form seen here. This small-format work features a bright blue color that may seem cheery to us, but Hokusai’s original audience would have associated it with death and the occult.
