The samurai weren't just warriors — they were Japan's primary art patrons for centuries. And as subjects of ukiyo-e musha-e prints, they produced some of the most visually dramatic japanese art print imagery.

Hokusai, Kuniyoshi, Yoshitoshi — all the great ukiyo-e masters drew yokai, ghosts, and supernatural creatures with the same seriousness they brought to landscapes. Japanese art print imagery at its most inventive.
