Japanese Otsu-e Hanging Scroll Painting demon (oni) as a monk drinking sake & playing shamisen GuitarDescription

Otsu-e refers to a style of Japanese folk painting created by anonymous artists in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, during the 17th century.A popular and iconic subject in Otsu-e is the "drinking demon." In these paintings, a fierce demon (oni) is shown relaxing and enjoying sake, or sometimes disguised as a wandering monk holding a Buddhist prayer book.

These artwork carry a satirical and moral message: they poke fun at people who act holy on the outside but indulge in secret vices (like heavy drinking) on the inside. Today, they are loved for their charming, witty, and heartwarming expressions.

It is said that Picasso also owned and highly praised Otsu-e paintings (particularly “The Demon’s Nembutsu”).

It’s a style of “Asian pop art” characterized by its pop, somewhat comical lines—a style that’s a bit “clumsy yet charming”—which is quite different from the intricate craftsmanship of traditional Japanese “ukiyo-e.”Width 27㎝ ×160㎝ (10.6in×62in)　Since the rod used to hang the scroll is made of a material that cannot be taken out of the country, we will remove the rod before shipping it.
