Benkei and Oni A set of two Otsu-e style prints by Wado Takahashi. The left work depicts Benkei, and the right work depicts an Oni demon. Otsu-e is a traditional Japanese folk painting style that developed around Otsu in Shiga Prefecture and has been appreciated since the Edo period. It is known for its bold lines, humorous expressions, vivid colors, and warm folk-art character. The Benkei figure is depicted in a powerful warrior-like pose, while the Oni has a fierce yet charming expression. Both are classic Otsu-e subjects and display well as a pair. These appear to be printed works rather than woodblock prints. Size Image size: 23.5 cm × 15.5 cm Sheet size: 26 cm × 18 cm Condition There are age-related stains, toning, and marks.
