The skeleton, with its long dark hair and red-rimmed sockets, recalls the gashadokuro and the great spectre of Utagawa Kuniyoshi, yet the living figure below belongs entirely to the present, seated cross-legged with the cool composure of a street portrait. His jacket carries embroidered skulls of its own, so that the bones above and the ornament below answer one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted in two colours only, the drawing relies on a precise, swelling line, and the white of the sheet becomes bone, cloth and air in turn.
