Ghosts

Katsushika Hokusai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white drawing of two panels. The left panel depicts a woman's head peeking around a corner, with dark hair and bangs, and a portion of a brick wall behind her. The right panel shows a man with long hair and a beard, wearing a garment with a rounded design on the back. He appears to have a long, curved object on his back. The background of both panels is a light beige color. The artist's name, Katsushika Hokusai, and the title, "Ghosts", are associated with this image.
