Description
Ii no Hayata dispatches the Nue--a beast with the head of a monkey, body of a badger, legs of a tiger, scales of dragon and tail of snake which descended onto the roof of the imperial palace in the form of a black cloud--with his sword after it was shot by the captain of the guards, Minamoto no Yorimasa. The dying beast writhes at Hayata's feet while both figures are enveloped in swirls of gray fog. The cartouche at the top right frames the title of the print.
