Fushiga

Utagawa Kuniyoshi's Prince Minamoto Yorimitsu Encounters the Earth Spider Demon (1843)

Fushiga is a genre of ukiyo-e woodblock prints depicting satirical pictures accompaniyed with text.[1][2][3] Fushiga prints usually depicted ordinary people in their everyday activities, with their exclamations written next to them, and not celebrities or famous landscapes. Fushiga relied more on text than on the image, and because of that was "virtually ignored by Western critics of the print".[2]
