| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-color depiction of Kitarō, the supernatural hero from Shigeru Mizuki's manga series GeGeGe no Kitarō, shown in dynamic pose riding atop his ghostly companion Neko-musume's transformed form, one arm outstretched toward the viewer. The character is rendered in his iconic blue-and-yellow vest with a single eyeball on his head; colorful spirit flames in orange and blue are scattered throughout the field. To the right, Mizuki's artistic seal appears in black. The legend GEGEGE NO KITARO 40th ANNIVERSARY arcs along the upper and right periphery, with the denomination $100 at the base flanked by decorative scrollwork, and the copyright mark ©M·F·T at lower right. |
