Uesugi Kenshin, the "god of war," had a mortal rival in Takeda Shingen.

Shingen's visual appearance has always been consistent. It is easy to recognize him at a glance.

While Kenshin's Hoshinoe was very cool, this Shingen's was more like "Hey, where am I? Where am I? Shingen looks like a lost child.

The dancing butterflies, the eerily smiling Hotoke, the bright red Nioh who falls down in a terrible pose, the dancing Gaikotsu ...... all are full of madness. It's just so d***y. I have said it many times, but these works are more than 100 years old. This is not the work of Tadanori Yokoo. #浮世絵

While the yokai are a bit comical and somewhat cute to look at (especially the snail-like ones), the grandmother is really scary. The kuzukago's flirty eyes are cute, too. And yet, the old lady..
