Thunder god, Edo period

The 'Thunder god, Edo period' is a striking mythological painting created in the traditional Ukiyo-e style. It depicts Raijin, the fierce Japanese god of lightning, thunder, and storms, often shown with an aggressive facial expression while standing atop a cloud, beating on den-den daiko drums adorned with tomoe symbols. Executed with expressive ink on paper, the artwork captures the dynamic energy associated with Raijin's mythological presence, frequently placed in temples and shrines, embodying the powerful spirit of storms in Japanese culture.
