Book excerpt: Utagawa Kuniyoshi is regarded as one of the true masters of ukiyo-e, the art of Edo-period Japan. Kuniyoshi produced thousands of prints and designs during his lifetime, but is perhaps best-known for his musha-e ('warrior prints'), with which he came to prominence in 1830. Samurai Ghost and Monster Wars, edited by Jack Hunter, collects and considers 100 of Kuniyoshi's most vivid and complex images of warriors, spectres, demons and monstrous beasts, presented in large-format and full-colour throughout.
