Shoki is traditionally portrayed as a powerful figure who captures and drives away evil spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this painting, Shoki suspends a small oni (demon) by a thread while bending down to pick up his sword. The contrast between the imposing demon queller and the helpless, dangling oni gives the scene a playful character. This inventive depiction offers an interesting variation on the traditional Shoki subject in Japanese painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting is executed on silk and bears no visible signature or seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall size: 192 × 52.5 cm \/ 75.59 × 20.67 in\u003cbr\u003ePainting size: 113 × 35 cm \/ 44.49 × 13.78 in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scroll shows signs of age and use, including creases and discoloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease check the photos carefully for details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- End: AuctivaCounter --\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.aucCounter a { text-decoration:none; }.aucCounter span:hover { text-decoration:underline; }.aucHiddenCounter { display:none; }.aucCounterOrangeText { color:#FB6D05; font-family:Arial; Font-size:13px; Font-weight:bold; }.aucCounterBlueText { color:#0068ac; Font-family:Arial; Font-size:11px; }\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"koedo-sun-art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":71778337456381,"sku":"ASO470","price":215.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/0774\/4253\/files\/57_6e9e3163-2777-4245-b1df-0bc0843ff08e.jpg?v=1793590857","url":"https:\/\/koedo-sun-art.com\/fr\/products\/japanese-hand-painted-hanging-scroll-shoki-demon-binding-oni-kakejiku","provider":"koedo-sun-art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
