As well as being celebrated in kabuki plays. Jutaro was depicted as a monster-slayer in many striking ukiyo-e woodblock prints of the 19th century; Yoshitoshi's macabre 1865 triptych Iwami Jutaro Kai O Ukagau ("Iwamu Jutaro Encounters A Monster") shows him confronting the monstrous hihi - a giant white ape-like creature of the mountain forest - while a naked girl is prepared for human sacrifice by demons. Jutaro's vanquishing of the mythic white ape was also notably captured in a 1859 print by Yoshitora, and presented in the kagura (theatre-dance) Iwami Jutaro. Written by BGP See less
