ディレクターコメント
酒呑童子退治に参じる、頼光四天王の伝説を描いた一枚。京で次々とさらわれた姫たちについて、陰陽師安倍晴明によって居所がわかると、源頼光率いる四天王は大江山の酒呑童子のもとに向かうのであった。山伏の姿は鬼たちをだますための変装で、道中神々によって与えられた毒酒をふるまう様子が描かれている。

芳員は国芳の門人で、作画期は嘉永頃から明治3年頃にかけてである。武者絵、花鳥画、草双紙の挿絵などを描いた。横浜開港後は異人の生活風俗に興味を持ち、横浜絵の先駆者として数多くの作品を手掛けた。

A depiction of the legendary tale of the Yorimitsu Shitenno, the four loyal retainers led by Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who set out to vanquish the Shuten-doji, a notorious demon residing in Mt. Oe. Shuten-doji, also known as the "Sake-drinking Demon," was feared for his penchant for abducting princesses. When princesses were being abducted one after another in Kyoto, their whereabouts were revealed by the onmyoji, Abe no Seimei, a practitioner of onmyodo. Upon learning this, the Yorimitsu Shitenno headed towards Mt. Oe. Disguised as yamabushi, practitioners or monks of Japanese Buddhism who undergo ascetic training in mountainous regions, to deceive the demons, this print illustrates the scene where they offer poisoned sake to the Shuten-doji, given to them by the gods they encounter along the way.

Yoshikazu was a disciple of Kuniyoshi and was active as an artist from around the Kaei era to around the third year of the Meiji period. He specialized in warrior prints, bird-and-flower paintings, and illustrations for kusazoshi books. After the opening of Yokohama Port, he became interested in the lifestyles of foreigners and produced numerous works as a pioneer of Yokohama-e.
