PLATE XXXIV
Shuten Dōji, the Drunkard Boy
Taken from a long scroll of the i8th century, a poor specimen of the Kano school. The part shown here represents Raikō offering the magic wine to the Drunkard Boy, the latter being entertained by his devilish retainers who are dancing and singing. Raikō and his five retainers are in the disguise of mountaineering priests. Behind them stand their travelling trunks, which they carry on their backs on the journey. See p. 306.
