He influenced the development of Japanese printmaking, adapting traditional techniques to contemporary subjects and tastes. His work is held in major collections worldwide. 'The Ghost Triptych' presents a scene of spectral figures and eerie landscapes. The composition is divided into three panels, each depicting different aspects of the supernatural realm. The left panel features a female ghost in elaborate robes, pointing towards the centre panel. The centre panel shows a ghostly figure surrounded by skulls and bones, possibly representing the underworld. The right panel depicts ghostly warriors engaged in battle, set against a mountainous backdrop. The print employs a muted palette of greys, blues, and reds, enhancing the ghostly atmosphere. The fine linework and detailed rendering of the figures are typical of Yoshitoshi's style.
