Ep. 42 "Hell Screen" by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa | Monogatari Macabre
Narrated by a (somewhat) impartial court observer, this reworking of a much older tale, concerns the obsessive artistry, and terrible downfall of the painter Yoshihide. First published in 1918 in serial form, the author is considered the father of the Japanese short story, and himself met a tragic end.
