About the painting

The placement of the figure and the artist’s signature in the otherwise blank field demonstrates the Shijo painters’ quest for expressive compositions. In so doing they intensified the subject: here the warrior-monk Benkei. Toshihide forcefully laid down this bold, powerful hero over the full width of the rectangular surface of the paper.
