One Hundred Demons Stirring by Night, colour woodcut
A two-panel Japanese colour woodcut crowded with monsters, demons, and fantastical figures in bright reds, yellows, and blues. On the left, a robed figure with a staff stands among billowing clouds, while on the right a grotesque horned face with bared teeth looms over a swarm of smaller creatures and people.
