A wood netsuke of Hankai, by Hachishô. Mid-19th century

Standing in full armour and helmet with feet wide apart and forceful expression, carrying a board decorated with an oni’s head under his arm, with which he will break open the door to the emperor’s palace. The tiny eye pupils of black horn. Signed Hachishô in a rectangular reserve.
