Description
GeGeGe no Kitarō (ゲゲゲの鬼太郎) Based on the work of Shigeru Mizuki (水木しげる) Kitarō, Nurikabe and Ittan-momen Hand-painted celluloid accompanied by the original dôga used in the production of the anime Celluloid executed in ink and gouache Doga drawn in graphite and coloured pencils Produced by Toei Animation, 1985–1988, Japan H24.2 L26.7 cm Doga, glued Ittan-momen (一反木綿) — Literally ‘a piece of cotton’ (one tan being approximately 10 x 0.28 m), this yōkai, native to Kagoshima, is a Tsukumogami: a simple strip of fabric intended for making clothes, which comes to life and flies through the night sky. Its behaviour is fearsome: it wraps itself round its victims’ necks or faces to strangle or suffocate them, making it one of the most dangerous—and sometimes deadly—Tsukumogami. In Mizuki’s work, it has become Kitarō’s mount and friend.
