Ghost Stories: Night Procession of the Hundred Demons (Kaidan hyakki yagyô)[1][2] (c. 1836) is an album of shunga by Utagawa Kuniyoshi.
- "This series shows male and female genitalia in the guise if various demons. Each print bears a title, many of which are bawdy and often pun the demons’ names. Although the individual prints are unsigned, the wrapper is signed “Ichimyôkai Hodoyoshi ga”, a signature Kuniyoshi is known to have used on erotic prints. This series is not listed in ‘Robinson’ by Basil William Robinson (Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 1961). The prints in this series are each about 5 by 3.5 inches (13 by 9 centimeters), a size known as koban."[3]
