Ink drawing of a fierce bearded figure in a flowing robe and tall cap, holding a sword, striding forward on paper.

Shōki the Demon Queller, from an Album of Shōki Paintings

Ink on paper shows a bearded, fierce-faced figure in a wide-sleeved robe and tall cap, striding forward and gripping a long sword with one hand. Loose brushwork and bold outlines define the billowing garments, boots, and wild hair, with a small demon-like form visible near the waist.
