Tengu and the Thunder

More about Tengu and the Thunder

A full shot of an ink wash painting depicts a fantastical, dynamic scene with a dragon head roaring at a woman with a long nose in a kimono, drawn in the Ukiyo-e style. The left side of the artwork features a menacing dragon head with intricate details, open mouth, sharp teeth, and glowing red eyes, against a mottled, textured background that suggests movement or storm. Its scales are rendered with fine lines and stippling, and long, sharp spikes emanate from its head. The dragon’s expression is fierce and aggressive, with its tongue visible within its gaping maw. To the right, a woman with pale skin, long black hair flowing back, and a distinctive long, pointed nose is shown in a dynamic pose, leaping or recoiling. She is adorned in a flowing kimono patterned with shades of blue, gray, and green, cinched with sashes and ribbons in complementary colors like red, white, and a lighter greenish-blue. Her left arm is extended towards the dragon, fingers slightly splayed, while her right arm is bent. Her bare feet and lower legs are visible, suggesting mid-air movement. The bottom of the image shows subtle, dark ink lines and organic shapes that could represent misty ground
