Kyosai hyakki gadan (Kyosai’s paintings of the demon horde)
KAWANABE Kyosai's Hyakki gadan is a picture scroll based on Hyakki yagyo emaki but done in Kyosai's own style. The scene is similar to the Hyakki yagyo emaki, but the direction in which the yokai are moving is reversed, and there are scenes inserted in which skeletons and yokai appear to be confronting each other.
Please view Kyosai hyakki gadan in the National Diet Library Digital Collections.
