About the piece

Created by the renowned Meiji-era artist Shibata Zeshin, this ink sketch captures the demon Ibaraki-dōji with masterful, sweeping brushstrokes. The work reflects the vitality of mid-19th century Japanese draftsmanship, emphasizing movement and character through minimal yet powerful lines. Its monochrome palette and expressive subject make it a sophisticated choice for contemporary or traditional spaces.
