Artist	Maruyama Ōkyo

According to an inscription on the painting, Okyo had a mistress in the Tominaga Geisha house. She died young and Okyo mourned her death. One night her spirit came to him in a dream. Unable to get her image out of his head, he painted this portrait. This is one of the earliest paintings of a yūrei with the basic late-Edo period ghost characteristics^{[citation needed]}: disheveled hair, white kimono, limp hands, nearly transparent, lack of lower body.
