    He
    was the teacher of Utamaro, and, before taking up printmaking, a painter of the Kano school. Toriyama is
    most famous for his attempt to catalogue all species of yokai in the Hyakki Yako series.

    These are the best copies of some of his prints that I found on the web. More can be learned about
    individual creatures by googling them and by visiting http://www.obakemono.com.
