Superb work ! R A R E A spectacular acton work. Shows Koremochi falling backwards blue-blade sword flashing, as he repels the blue-faced wild haired Devil, while the autumn-red miniature Japanese maple [Momiji] leaves float in the air from the disturbance. Kore- mochi's pinkish-white cloak shows an intricate pattern carv- ed in the blocks, but printed without color by the most dif- ficult and subtle "gauffrage" technique. The Devil avoids Koremachi's dangerous sword in his jump into the air. A most impressive scene, suitable for framing & library display.See E. van den Inge et al: BEAUTY & VIOLENCE JAPANESE PRINTS BY YOSHITOSHI 1839-1892, p.116 & example prints from this ser- ies.
