Once Upon a Time (A Book of Ghost Stories) (Imawa mukashi)
Imawa mukashi is a Japanese illustrated book of ghost and yokai tales, printed in 1790, probably by Katsushika Hokusai and intended for popular readers. Its pictures are monochrome woodblock spreads with light colour, showing supernatural creatures in quiet domestic and rural settings, with clear figure silhouettes and strong contrast between dark forms and pale ground that suggest simple, bold graphic compositions.
