This is the cover of a new book filled with Japanese woodcuts and paintings. The newest picture in the anthology is 150 years old. These were mass-produced for the Japanese and were actually very successful. Not all of the art is from the mass-produced prints, such as images from the “Hell Scrolls.” This art applies to the horror fan in an art-lover, as they are some of the most disturbingly, horrifically beautiful things ever made. Also, it’s still more proof that depravity isn’t a feature of modern society, but has been around for much longer. Older, more purportedly “conservative” societies even embraced that depravity.
