According to legend, he was raised in the mountains by a \u003cem\u003eyamauba\u003c\/em\u003e, a supernatural mountain woman, and possessed extraordinary strength. In this scene, Kintaro lifts a massive log overhead while a bear he had been wrestling tumbles from a cliff. On the right, Minamoto no Yorimitsu observes Kintaro from horseback and recruits him as a retainer. Kintaro later becomes one of Yorimitsu’s most formidable warriors, known as Sakata Kintoki. The entire scene frames a wonderfully quaint view of Mount Fuji.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDate: 1857\u003cbr\u003eSize: Oban Triptych\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Some restoration to sheets, otherwise very good color and condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUtagawa Yoshikazu (active c. 1850–1870s) \u003c\/strong\u003ewas a pupil of Utagawa Kuniyoshi whose work reflects the transition from the Edo period to the Meiji era.
