“When you visualized a man or a woman carefully, you could always begin to feel pity . . . that was a quality God's image carried with it . . . when you saw the lines at the corners of the eyes, the shape of the mouth, how the hair grew, it was impossible to hate.

― Ei Nakau, Something Wicked from Japan: Ghosts, Demons & Yokai in Ukiyo-e Masterpieces
