{"name": "Pepe\u2019s Night Parade of One Hundred Demons", "description": "This work reimagines the classic Hyakki Yagy\u014d, the legendary \u201cNight Parade of One Hundred Demons\u201d from Edo-period folklore, by inserting Pepe as a calm, near-amused participant among Japan\u2019s most iconic y\u014dkai. The composition echoes traditional ukiyo-e depictions by artists such as Toriyama Sekien, employing the same earthy pigments, textured paper, and flattened nocturnal palette typical of late-Edo supernatural prints. Surrounding Pepe are familiar spirits: a skeletal revenant, a hitotsume ghost, a y\u016brei with flowing black hair, a kasa-obake with its long tongue, a bakeneko, and an oni-like creature. Each figure retains the exaggerated expressiveness and playful menace characteristic of Edo y\u014dkai art.\n\nPepe\u2019s presence\u2014dressed in a simple yukata and carrying a warm lantern\u2014creates a humorous contrast to the eerie procession, transforming what was traditionally a parade of terror into a surreal, almost festive nocturnal gathering. The piece pays homage to the Edo fascination with the supernatural while blending it with contemporary pop-iconography", "image": "ipfs://QmW6YjBDfPPMReoBJX3qtEbTgjmFXNDwuQgxLXKdS3MrrH/media", "image_sha256": "b1cc8291c4ac2bc2a74f6aedf2ea15f2bda1eeb4a38fe9b6332c68ba7f961a99", "attributes": [{"trait_type": "Trait 1 Name", "value": "Late Edo Period"}, {"trait_type": "Trait 2 Name", "value": "Frog"}, {"trait_type": "Trait 3 Name", "value": "Vol. II"}, {"trait_type": "Trait 4 Name", "value": "Chapter II"}], "tags": [], "media": {"uri": "ipfs://QmW6YjBDfPPMReoBJX3qtEbTgjmFXNDwuQgxLXKdS3MrrH/media", "dimensions": "3072x2048", "size": "12637976", "mimeType": "image/png"}}
