Japan: The Ghost of Osan. Utagawa Hirosada (active 1825-1875), c.1850

Konishi Hirosada was the most prolific Osaka-based designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints during the late Edo period. Like most producers of kamigata-e) - prints originating in the Osaka and Kyoto regions - he specialized in yakusha-e actor prints. Hirosada is particularly known for his diptychs and triptychs, and for his many okubi-e portraits of the leading actors on the Osaka kabuki stage during his day. In keeping with the custom for Edo period artists, Hirosada used a number of different go art names throughout his career, including Gosotei Hirosadao, Gorakutei Hirosada and Utagawa Hirosada.
