Gods
(Kaminari zukushi, 雷づくし)
Publisher: Yeshima
c. 1840-1842
The thunder god is known as either Raijin or as Kaminari Sama. He is usually portrayed with drums having the mitsu tomoye (three commas) design. This series is not listed in Kuniyoshi by Basil William Robinson (Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 1961). The images are each about 7 by 10 inches (18 by 25 centimeters), a size known as chûban. Two images were printed on a sheet of paper about 14 by 10 inches (36 by 25 centimeters), a size known as ôban. |
