I find these images haunting in both an aesthetic and psychological way.

But I didn't find any of them scary. I found these ghosts to be sad and confused, may be a little lost in their own world. I do get scared by the subject of Ghosts otherwise, but the pictures above make me feel that they are another creation of some energy (divine energy, may be, like God). And they have their own set of problems that they are trying hard to solve. They are not happy for sure so the best we can do for them is to understand them and let them "BE". At least not get scared of them and make things more difficult for them. I liked the artist’s concept of ghosts. But I didn’t find any of them scary.

I had been to the display yesterday. Kohada Koheiji and the ume bozu have to be seen up close. Many more nice scrolls to be seen, and sheets of ancient kanji like you wont beleive. As for the access, if you dont like walking in the heat, you can take the chuo line from Nishi-Nippori to Sendagi (千駄木), much closer. Thanks for the info! I had been to the display yesterday.
