This hand-coloured woodblock print, titled "Sakata Kintoki Wrestling with a Tengu" transports us to the vibrant world of 18th-century Japan. Created by Torii Kiyomasu I during the Edo period, this artwork showcases his exceptional talent and mastery of traditional Japanese printing techniques. In this scene, we witness an intense battle between Sakata Kintoki, a legendary figure known for his immense strength, and a fearsome Tengu—a mythical creature often depicted as part-human and part-bird. The dynamic composition captures the raw energy and power exchanged between these two formidable adversaries. Kiyomasu's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. The rich colors bring life to the characters' flowing garments while highlighting their expressions of determination and resilience. This hand-tinted masterpiece exemplifies the beauty of ukiyo-e prints—a popular art form during the Tokugawa period—by combining skillful craftsmanship with mythological storytelling.

It invites viewers into a realm where folklore intertwines with history, offering glimpses into ancient beliefs and traditions. As we gaze upon this work from centuries past, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with tales of heroism and supernatural beings. Through Kiyomasu's artistry, we are transported across time to witness an epic clash that transcends boundaries—both
