Über das Gemälde
This sheet is a finished design for a print. It is full of images of monsters depicted from two sides. In this sheet, for example, the figures in the top right and left of the sheet are two sides of the same monster: the figure to the right is of the monster in its guise as a mouse, while that on the left is of it in its human guise. Both figures have the same outline, but in reverse. People would cut out the figures, glue them back-to-back and play with them. For this reason, prints of this type are extremely rare.
Sadahide's images are full of humour. The word for 'monster' in Japanese means literally 'things that change' (bakemono): the theme is perfectly suited to the format.
