This image is a Japanese woodblock print that depicts a lively and colorful scene. In the foreground, several figures appear to be in distress or perhaps in a state of disarray. One individual in a green and reddish garment and another in black and white checks are lying on their backs as if they've been knocked down or are recoiling in horror. Their facial expressions suggest shock or fear. In the background, towering above the scene, is an enormous, vividly colored face of what appears to be a supernatural creature or ogre, with reddish skin, bulging eyes, and an expressive grimace. Its presence seems to be the source of the characters' terror. Accompanying this face is a large, curled mane that adds to the dramatic effect. Traditional Japanese elements, such as paper lanterns and a sliding door with a blue pattern, add to the setting, along with a wave and Mount Fuji motif within what appears to be a painted scroll or artwork in the back. This print is an example of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries, which often depicted kabuki actors, scenes from history and folklore, as well as landscapes and classical themes. The style of the figures and their attire, as well as the stylization of the supernatural presence, are consistent with this art tradition.
