One Hundred Ghost Stories (百物語, Hyaku Monogatari) is a series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints made by Katsushika Hokusai in the Yūrei-zu genre in c. 1830. There are only five prints in Hokusai's series, though as its title suggests, the publisher, Tsuruya Kiemon, and Hokusai wanted to make a series of one hundred prints.[1][2] Hokusai was in his seventies when he worked on this series, and though his most famous impressions are of nature, he was aware of the beliefs of the Edo period and depicts ghosts from well-known stories, many of which were also famous kabuki plays. Each print represents one story, that could be recited during the game of Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai.
