Description
Kuragano: Jiraiya from the series: Sixty-nine Post Stations of the Kisokaido Road, 1852 - 1853
Handsome portrait of the young thief and magician Jiraiya sitting on a folding stool beneath a pine tree with two followers. They are gathered around a roaring fire as evening falls. Jiraiya wears a black coat over a black kimono tucked into brocade hakama pants featuring dragon motifs, his long hair pulled back into a ponytail. A popular folk hero, Jiraiya practiced toad magic and could turn himself into a toad. The inset at upper left takes the shape of a toad, showing travelers on a rocky road near Kuragano. Nicely detailed with an attractive natural setting.
14 x 9 5/8
