Description
English: The notorious bandit Kidomaru, appearing in this print as a giant wild man, springs from his hiding place by the side of the road and makes a mad rush for his enemy Raiko. He is overpowered and soon slain by Raiko's four retainers. Kidomaru was a bandit in the 10th century who terrorized the local people with witchcraft he learned from goblins ("tengu"). The legendary hero Raiko-- in real life Minamoto no Yorimitsu (944-1021)-- was commissioned by the emperor to rid the country of such bandits.
