This listing is for one authentic vintage Japanese menko card featuring characters from GeGeGe no Kitaro, the iconic yokai series created by Shigeru Mizuki. Menko are traditional Japanese paper game cards that were widely played by children during the Showa era (1926–1989). Originally produced as inexpensive play items, surviving examples are now appreciated as collectible pieces of vintage Japanese pop culture and printed ephemera. The illustration shows Kitaro alongside a grotesque yokai figure, rendered in a bold and expressive style characteristic of Mizuki’s work.
