Kohada Koheiji - Katsushika Hokusai Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
Katsushika Hokusai gives Kohada Koheiji his finest role in this 1831 Japanese woodblock print: a murdered kabuki actor climbing back into his own bedroom. Bony fingers hook the vermilion hem of the kaya and drag it down. Below that sagging cloth lie his wife and her lover, the man who held him under at Asaka swamp.
Hokusai keeps the couple out of frame. The skeleton ghost fills it, his skull washed amber along the cranial seams, a few swamp-slick hairs streaming from the scalp. Round eyes roll upward. The jaw hangs open over a full row of teeth. Jade prayer beads circle his neck for a burial he never received.
Santō Kyōden wrote the tale in 1803. Here, in the Hyaku Monogatari series, Prussian blue pools into lamp-soot shadow behind the yūrei as rice-paper flames ripple across the floor. One Hundred Ghost Stories sold Edo period buyers a shiver. In this ukiyo-e the husband is home, and the net is almost down.

Wall Art Size Guides
Framed Art Prints
1. Vertical
Use the sawtooth hanger at the top middle on the back of the frame and hang it on a single screw or nail.
2. Horizontal
Hang the two sawtooth hangers on two screws or nails at the same heightPut two screws or nails in the wall at the same height, spaced the same distance apart as the two sawtooth hangers, then hang your print on them.
Framed Canvas
1. D-rings (most secure)
Screw a D-ring onto the back of the frame on the left and right, both at the same height. A ruler helps here. Then put two screws in the wall where you want your canvas, level with each other and spaced the same distance apart as the D-rings. A spirit level makes this easier. Finally, hook the D-rings onto the screws.
2. Straight onto screws
Keep it simple: put two screws in the wall at the same height and rest the inner lip at the top of the back of the frame on them.
