Here’s something spooky (and lovely) to spice up your Tuesday morning. Ghosts have always been important in Japanese artwork—influenced by the theatrical traditions of kabuki and noh. FYI: The tradition of telling “hair-raising tales” is called kaidan. The image above is of ‘Takiyasha the Witch and the Skeleton Spectre’ by Utagawa Kuniyoshi. For more creepy and cool examples check out Hyperallergic, Collector has three ghost stories—and Smithsonian has more history. You can also check out this animated version of Japan’s most famous ghost story of Oiwa—a woman murdered by her philandering husband.
