Her ghastly face and blood-stained garments... 1919. Creator: Unknown
Her ghastly face and blood-stained garments struck terror to the souls of the petrified spectators, 1919....the brides sumptuously lacquered kago appeared, surrounded by a numerous retinue, carrying lanterns and torches. Suddenly, an unearthly gust of cold wind arose whirling wildly...and all the lights were extinguished. In the dense gloom of that moonless night, what was the terror of everyone to behold in front of them, barring the way before the passage of the bride, the spectre of the deserted mistress! Shrouded in a cloud of pale-bluish mist...her long dishevelled hair streamed behind her in the breeze, which was not of this world, and her hands were uplifted in menace towards the bride, from whose kago a wild and heartpiercing shriek was heard. Illustration to " How Kinu Returned from the Grave", a story in " Romances of Old Japan", by Madame Yukio Ozaki. [Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co. Ltd, London, 1919]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures a chilling moment from the year 1919. The image portrays a scene of sheer terror as onlookers are petrified by the ghastly face and blood-stained garments of an unknown figure. The atmosphere is further intensified by the sumptuously lacquered kago, or palanquin, surrounded by lanterns and torches that illuminates the eerie setting. Suddenly, an otherworldly gust of cold wind swirls around, extinguishing all lights. In the dense gloom of that moonless night, everyone's worst fears materialize before them: standing in front of the bride's path is none other than the spectre of a deserted mistress. Shrouded in pale-bluish mist with disheveled hair flowing behind her like ethereal tendrils, she raises her hands menacingly towards the bride. The reaction is immediate and heart-wrenching - a wild and piercing shriek escapes from within the bride's kago. This illustration serves as visual accompaniment to "How Kinu Returned from the Grave" a story featured in "Romances of Old Japan" written by Madame Yukio Ozaki. Preserved through time, this enigmatic photograph continues to evoke spine-chilling emotions as it transports viewers back to an era where tales of supernatural encounters were deeply ingrained in Japanese folklore.
