Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things

A grayscale illustration in a Japanese artistic style, depicting a scene from folklore regarding the story of the Yuki-onna original: "Snow Woman". Inside a rustic wooden structure with plank walls, an elderly man lies motionless on the floor. A woman wearing an ornate, patterned kimono kimono: a traditional Japanese robe and an elaborate hairstyle is kneeling over him. She is blowing a visible, shimmering mist or breath directly onto his chest. Behind the man, a younger person watches the scene with an expression of shock or concern. On the ground near the man's feet lies a long scabbarded sword and a bundle of rope.
