Takiyasha the Witch and the Skeleton Specter
I think it would be a bit unfair of me to comment on Kuniyoshi, since, honestly, I don't know very much about the artist (please feel free to ridicule and inform me in the comments section). As for Ukiyo-e, which was a type of woodblock print created in Japan in the 17th century. As the prints were imported to Europe, they had a strong influence on the Impressionists onwards, such as on Degas, van Gogh, Monet, Toulouse-Lautrec, Whistler, etcetera. Despite my ignorance concerning the artist, I do find his prints to be absolutely wonderful, with an amazing sense of design and very beautiful flourishes of the macabre.
