拍品專文

Shuten-doji, the demon of Mount Oe, has the form of a man during the day, but at night transforms into a giant demon who kidnaps daughters of noble families from the capital and drinks their blood. Minamoto no Yorimitsu is ordered to destroy him and so he travels to Mount Oe with four bodyguards and Hirai Yasumasa. En route they are given a special sake which is harmful to demons, which he gives Shuten-doji who becomes paralysed, enabling Yorimitsu to sever his head.

In this design, Shuten-doji is shown in the process of transforming into his demon form, his face half demon as well as his right hand. See Yuriko Iwakiri and Amy Reigle Newland, (Leiden, 2013), p. 63.
