説明：
Watanabe Genjitsuna (953–1025) fought as one of the Four Warriors of the legendary hero Minamoto Yorimitsu (948–1021), vanquishing the supernatural foes that threatened the stability of the ancient capital. One such demon, Ibaraki, had taken up residence in the large multistoried gate, the Rashōmon, which marked the southern entrance to the city. Ibaraki summoned a rainstorm, and the strong diagonal lines of the rain, printed in black, provide a convincing sense of brooding atmosphere. Though the Rashōmon gate is no longer extant, it still inspires supernatural dread in the modern era, seen in Akira Kurosawa’s 1950 movie, Rashōmon.
