This rare Japanese hanging scroll (kakejiku) features a ghostly female figure (yūrei), depicted in the classical style with flowing black hair, a white kimono, and no visible feet—hallmarks of traditional ghost paintings from the Edo period. Signed and sealed by the artist Shoho (松峰), the work reflects the aesthetics and symbolism of supernatural art in Japanese folklore. Such ghost paintings (yūrei-ga) were created not only to evoke fear, but also to honor spirits, offer spiritual protection, and reflect on impermanence and human emotion. They gained popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries, with artists like Maruyama Ōkyo, Katsushika Hokusai, and Tsukioka Yoshitoshi contributing to the genre. These scrolls were sometimes used in rituals, rain invocation, or as moral reminders—making them both artistic and spiritual artifacts. The delicate brushwork and ethereal composition in this scroll suggest a reverence for the unseen world, making it a compelling piece for collectors of Japanese folklore and supernatural art. The scroll is accompanied by a wooden storage box, which helps protect the work and enhances its value as a preserved piece of traditional Japanese art.
