Koshibe No Sugaru

This artwork illustrates the dramatic capture of a thunder monster (voukai) by Koshibe no Sugaru amid flames and lightning in Toyoura Village. The scene is vivid and intense, depicting the chaos and supernatural elements of the encounter. The artist's use of flames and lightning emphasizes the otherworldly nature of the voukai and the heroism of Sugaru in confronting and capturing such a fearsome creature of life and death, and the honor in sacrifice.
