Kitao Masanobu was depicting illustrations on many of Santo Kyoden's books that are Ludicrously with absurdity, but intelligent. It is a picture book with the contents as follows. A mermaid who was kicked out of the deep-sea castle and married to humans escapes from poverty by opening a shop "Elixir of longevity: The place to lick mermaid" knowing that her body is a medicine of longevity (Hakoiri-musume Menya Ningyo).
A man who has traveled by all of the 130 hells present in this world departs knowing the existence of Imo-Jigoku (starchy tubers hell) which is an unknown hell one day, and finally he came to find out a horrible truth in the Imo-jigoku where various kinds of starchy tubers who committed sins are punished (Ippaku-sanjyu Imo-Jigoku). And actually, Kitao Masanobu is another name of Santo Kyoden, and these two were the same person. His skill that learned under Kitao Shigemasa was also top notch as a painter. Kyoden has left over 300 picture books, 26 feature novels, and 35 other historical research essays before he died at the age of 56.
