1885

A design which is most probably called 'obake' (ghost) appears in 'Kindergarten Shoho' (Preliminary Kindergarten) by Iijima Hanjuro, which was copyrighted on October 4th Meiji 17 (1884) and published by Fukuda Senzo in August of Meiji 18 (1885)

The same book also contains an illustration of a design for a 'kasa no ippon ashi' (One-legged Umbrella Ghost)
