    Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, "Shoki Capturing a Demon in a Dream"

    $0.00

    jThe deity Shoki originates from a legendary figure of China's Tang Dynasty, Chung Kuei who is believed to have devoted his immortal energy to vanquishing all demons from China. He is also said to have appeared in the Chinese's Emperor Ming Huang's dreams and cured him of an illness. Shoki would later be adapted into Japanese iconography and culture. Here, Shoki is shown with his typical military attire, hat with streamers, a sword, and heavy belt battling demons. An oni in the background cowers.
