Traditional Japanese prints often depict legends from Japan's ancient past - images of gods, monsters and demons. It's an art style that lends itself well to showing the supernatural. Following that vein, it was a lot of fun adapting these superhuman characters into the Ukiyo-e style. 

I created this bold, colorful design to look like one of Yoshitoshi's many warrior prints. The bright hues reflect the color palette of the original TV show.
