Ten Kings of Hell

Those who have read Journey to the West (1592) will know that the Ten Kings of hell appear in chapter three. This is when Monkey's soul is dragged to the underworld, and after causing trouble, he crosses his name out (as well as those of all monkeys) from the ledgers in hell.

Here is a book PDF that discusses the 9th/10th-century scripture that first introduced the Ten Kings.

New Buddhist Hell art print now available!  This image is a depiction of Naraka, the Buddhist Hell realm.  The artwork was originally created for French underground art publisher "Le Dernier Cri" and published in an art book from 2020 titled "Narok" with various artistic interpretations of the Buddhist Hell Gardens of Thailand.

All orders include a bonus Baba Yaga mini art print.  I also still have a few copies of my Mothman artwork.
