After Watanabe no Tsuna cut off the demon Ibaraki's arm at the Rashōmon gate, he kept the arm locked away in a box. The demon came for it in the shape of Tsuna's elderly aunt, pleading to see the famous trophy, and the moment the box was opened she seized her arm and fled back into the night. Tsukioka Yoshitoshi designed this print in 1880 at the story's most dangerous second: the white-haired 'aunt,' in a green kimono blazing with peonies, bent double over the box, and her face in profile already the demon's. It is the companion plate to his Ibaraki in flight, the same demon drawn twice in one year, once raging and once pretending to be family.

This impression is held by the Library of Congress. Our reproduction is made from that source file, printed on thick matte paper.

More about this wall art poster print:

Nothing supernatural seems to happen in this print, and that is its menace. An elderly aunt, white-haired and bent, leans over a wooden box on a family visit, her green kimono bright with peonies. But the box holds a demon's severed arm, taken in a fight at the Rashōmon gate, and the aunt is that demon, come to steal it back. Yoshitoshi, in this print of 1880, gives the disguise away only in her profile, where her face has already thinned into the oni's. The theft is seconds away, and has not happened.

A quiet print that keeps its tension; rewarding company over time. From a distance, a graceful figure study; the story only opens up close, in the profile, so guests discover it in stages. It works where pictures get looked at slowly, a living room or study, ideally beside its companion plate, the demon in open flight.
