The Monster of Good and Evil and Others

1830-1844

Utagawa Sadahide

EAS

Painting, black and colours, 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 holding aloft fans in the top right are two sides of the same monster: the Chinese character on the right-hand figure means 'good' while that on the left-hand figure means 'evil'.
