Revenge! Behold, Utagawa Kuniyoshi's evergreen woodcut triptych, "The Witch Princess Takiyasha Evokes the Skeleton [of Her Father]" (1844), reproduced from staff favorite new release, 'Yokai: The Ancient Prints of Japanese Monsters,' published by @skiraeditore @paolo_linetti writes: "For Catholicism revenge is a vile sentiment, more deplorable than any wrong suffered. Those who consider it or wish for it are guilty of not having turned the other cheek. In Japan, on the other hand, it is an action necessary to restore an equilibrium that transforms the injustice into fairness. Holding a grudge is the detonator that chains the souls of innocent victims, transforming them into phantasms and almost always from victims into executioners.” Read more about the book via linkinbio. #kuniyoshi #witchprincesstakiyasha #yokai #japanesemonster #japanesemonsters #revenge https://www.instagram.com/p/Co-Jm7TOPyi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
