Thirty-Six New Forms of Ghosts was the last major woodblock print series designed by the Meiji master Tsukioka (Taiso) Yoshitoshi. The series is about ghosts and demons and all kind of supernatural stories from the Japanese mythology and old folk tales. While Yoshitoshi worked on the series, his own mental condition deteriorated more and more. On June 9, 1892, he died from what doctors had diagnosed as a cerebral hemorrhage.
