Bakemono no e

Bakemono no e is a Japanese hand scroll from the Edo period, dated to around 1660, depicting thirty five bakemono, or supernatural creatures, from Japanese folklore, each painted figure labelled with its name in brushed ink. The scroll carries vivid pigments accented with gold and silver but no colophon, signature or seal, so the identity of its painter is unknown; it is considered among the oldest surviving examples of the bakemonozukushi, or monster catalogue, genre of Japanese art. It is held today in the L. Tom Perry Special Collections at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.
