Yokaido: Woodblock Prints by Shigeru Mizuki
Monkdogz Urban Art [10/24/15:48]
Through-November 8 FREE

In Yokaido (Ghost Road) Shigeru Mizuki takes us on a journey through the nether world of Japan’s myths and monsters.  Mizuki is best known in Japan as a manga author, a master of the ‘yokai’(ghost) genre and as the creator of the series “GeGeGe no Kitaro”.  He was inspired to re-create the famous Hiroshige’s Tokaido woodblock prints by replacing the original human figures with the ghostly characters from his own yokai creations.  Eight out of 53 woodblock prints in the Yokaido series are available at the gallery.
