Series; One Hundred Ghost Stories of China and Japan, 1865
Lord Teishin with a Demon behind a Screen - Terrific image of Lord Teishin walking through a palace as a demon peers at him from behind a screen of reed blinds. The nobleman continues on his way, appearing not to notice the red horned creature crouching behind the blind and leering at him. Teishin wears a black robe with a beautifully detailed burnished scroll pattern over full blue hakama pants, a diamond print sash trailing on the floor behind him. He wears a tall court cap and carries a wooden staff denoting his status. A handsome design with wonderful color and detail, also in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
