Ukiyo-e print of a ghost with long black hair and a fan

This Ukiyo-e woodblock print depicts a spectral figure, likely a ghost or yokai, with long, flowing black hair and an anguished expression. The figure is leaning over a large, ornate fan, its hands gripping the edge. The fan is rendered with alternating panels of deep brown and pale yellow, accented with thin gold lines, and a decorative band at its base. The background is a gradient of muted grays, suggesting a somber or ethereal setting. The style is characteristic of Japanese Edo period art, known for its narrative depictions of folklore, theater, and everyday life. The composition emphasizes the dramatic pose of the figure and the striking visual of the fan, creating a sense of unease and mystery.
