Description
| Why were these supposedly scary yokai depicted with such charm? This book solves the mystery of yokai paintings, the last bastion of Japanese art history. Because of their popular nature and caricatural or caricature-like expressions, yokai paintings have not been often discussed as a theme in the history of art. However, in Japan, yokai has long been familiar to everyone from children to adults, and is an important subject closely related to indigenous Japanese culture and religion, such as nature beliefs and local folklore. This project will provide an opportunity to reconsider the characteristic aspects of Japanese art, such as laughter and play, by reviewing the genealogy of "yokai" paintings, which have not been discussed as a mainstream art form in art history. The book contains an abundance of yokai paintings (picture scrolls) from the Heian period to the early Meiji period, and its popular and caricature-like expressions trace the ancestry of yokai painting, which has rarely been attempted in art history, and decipher its genealogy. ; Foreword:Tadashi Tsuji Art Direction:Shin Sobue Included works [A Night Parade of One Hundred Demons Picture Scroll (Matsui Bunko)]/Toriyama Sekien [Illustration: A Night Parade of One Hundred Demons]/Yoshimitsu Yoshimitsu [Hyakki no zu] / [Bakemono zu emaki] / Tosa Mitsuki [Hyakki no yagyo no zu], etc. |

なぜ、怖いはずの妖怪が、かくも愛嬌たっぷりに描かれたのか？
日本美術史の最後の砦、妖怪画のなぞを解く。
その大衆性や、戯画的、あるいは風刺的表現が見られることから、これまで美術史のなかでなかなかテーマとしてとりあげられることがなかった「妖怪画」。
ところが、日本では古くから子供から大人までが親しんできた裾野の広い分野であり、自然信仰や各地域の伝承といった日本固有の土着文化や宗教と密接に関わる重要な主題でもある。
本企画は、美術史のなかで本流としては語られてこなかった「妖怪画」の系譜をあらためて見直すことで、日本美術の持っているある笑いや遊びといった特徴的な側面を再考の契機となる。
平安時代から明治初期にかけて描かれた妖怪画（絵巻物）を豊富に掲載し、その大衆性や戯画的表現から、これまで美術史においてはほとんど試みられることのなかった妖怪画の祖型をたどり、その系譜を読み解く。
