Featured on PDR in the collection “The Form of a Demon and the Heart of a Person”: Kitagawa Utamaro’s Prints of Yamauba and Kintarō (ca. 1800)
Who can say what lay in the heart of the giantess Yamauba when she descended from her mountain crag to claim the boy Kintarō for herself? Some claim that she knew the taste of human flesh; others, that her blood turned the buckwheat fields red. But in the eyes of the Edo period print master Kitagawa Utamaro, she was something else altogether.
