EDITORS COMMENTS
Yama-chichi, the Japanese Yeti, is depicted in this striking Ukiyo-e print from the year 1841, as he stealthily takes the life force of an unsuspecting traveler during his sleep. The intricately detailed illustration showcases Yama-chichi's menacing presence, with his long, shaggy fur, piercing eyes, and open mouth, revealing his sharp teeth. The traveler lies peacefully in his bedroll, oblivious to the imminent danger. The scene is set against a backdrop of a serene mountain landscape, adding an eerie contrast to the violent act unfolding. The opposite page of this print contains the text of the traditional tale from which this scene is derived. The story goes that Yama-chichi, also known as the Mountain Father, would lure travelers to sleep in the mountains, and then inhale their life force, leaving their bodies behind. This print is a chilling reminder of the dangers that lurked in the wilderness, and the importance of staying vigilant during one's travels. This print is part of a larger collection of Ukiyo-e works, as evidenced by the covers of other volumes peeking out from behind it. Ukiyo-e, which translates to "pictures of the floating world," was a genre of Japanese art that flourished during the Edo period. These prints were popular among the masses, and were often used to illustrate stories from folklore and mythology, as well as scenes from daily life. This particular print, with its haunting subject matter, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Ukiyo-e tradition.
