-------

Masanori Kuki continues to draw “Yokai bijinga” using monsters and strange things as motifs.

He replaces the terrifying existence with a modern beauty and gives it a mysterious atmosphere.

In ghost stories, fear and fascination with unknown existences are intermingled, but the specters and strange things that Kuki draws are exactly the same, bewitching the viewer with their beauty and seductive gestures, swallowing them in a whirlpool of fear and temptation. It's something that invites you to the ghost world.
