Muzan-e Bloody Ukiyo-e - Suehiro Maruo Kazuichi Hanawa (1988)

This 1988 volume features the original ukiyo-e series Eimei Nijuhasshuku (Twenty-Eight Famous Murders with Verse) by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi and Ochiai Yoshiiku, alongside Showa-era reinterpretations by Kazuichi Hanawa and Suehiro Maruo.

By presenting the historical and modern works side by side, it offers a unique perspective on the evolution of Japanese ukiyo-e, ero guro aesthetics, and dark art. An English commentary is included at the end of the book.

Available at Maboroshi Mart (if currently in stock.)
