（Minamoto Mitsuko Yorimitsu Koukan Tsuchigumo Saku Yokai no Zu" (The Spider and the Spider Specter by Minamoto Mitsuko Yorimitsu)
1843, large-format nishiki-e (brocade), 3 prints in sequence
Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who is said to have vanquished the "drinking spiders" of Mount Oeyama, is being tormented by the "Tsuchigumo" (earth spider) demons.
There are other paintings of the extermination of demons on Mt. The pattern of Yorimitsu's wobbly kimono is a sheath-shaped pattern, which means that the 12th shogun, Tokugawa Iekei, is the Yorimitsu.
The common people of Edo, who had grown weary of Mizuno's prohibition policy, began to buy these ukiyo-e prints in droves.
And the publisherIbasenThe letters "ukiyoe" and "ukiyoe" are the characters of "ukiyoe". The enthusiasm of the people was so great thatIbasenwas not to blame for the quick arrangement of retrieving the painting and scraping the woodblocks. Well, well, well...
The publisherIbasenKuniyoshi and the Utagawa school, to which Kuniyoshi belonged, were both government contractors, so to speak, serving the Edo Shogunate. The Utagawa school, to which Kuniyoshi belonged, was also under the government service, so to speak, and its rights were never revoked.
