Painting, black and colour, design for a print. It is full of images of monsters depicted from two sides, and each pair has the same outline but in reverse. In this sheet, for example, the figures at the top are two sides of the same monster, in this case one of the mendicant monks in Katsushika in Edo (modern Tokyo), depicted as a figure with extremely big head and animal legs.
