Description
In the serialized novel "The Story of Young Thunder Hero / Jiraiya goketsu monogatari" published in the mid 19th century and in the 1852 kabuki play by the same name, Jiraiya leads a group of bandits in the snow country of Echigo. Here his men attack a mansion, perhaps of the corrupt official Yakama Shiraoku, capturing two women named Ayume and Takane, and making off with a palanquin. In the garden is a toad-shaped snow pile.
