Ghosts, Demons ＆ Yōkai in Ukiyo-e Masterpieces
July 5 - August 24, 2025
Yōkai are monsters created by the imagination of the people of the Edo period (1603-1868). A yōkai craze broke out towards the end of the Edo era, and its impact extended to ukiyo-e, the woodblock prints representative of the townspeople’s culture of the time. Ghosts that bear a grudge against this world. Wrathful spirits that cause natural disasters. Animals such as cats, raccoons, and foxes that trick humans… Thrilling, mysterious and humorous—bizarre monsters will gather here in Nagasaki, where townspeople’s culture once bloomed.
