Title

Votive slip folio 2 verso 1, NE1184.35.N67 v.4

Description

A large (4-chō) depiction of a statue of Enma with four senjafuda pasted to his chest. It’s possible that this is only the left side of an 8-chō composition, and that the right side is missing from the Starr collection, but it’s also possible that this is the complete composition. The framing emphasizes both the monumental size of this statue of Enma and the comical impudence of the four strips that have been affixed to it.
