In this stunning artwork from the series "Of the Twelve Months: the Fifth" we witness May's powerful depiction through vibrant colors and intricate details. At its center stands Shoki, the legendary Demon Queller, mounted atop a majestic tiger. With his sword raised high, he exudes an aura of strength and determination as he subdues goblins with ease. The artist's skillful use of block printing brings these mythical creatures to life, their menacing expressions contrasting against Shoki's unwavering resolve. Kyosai masterfully captures the essence of Japanese artistry in this oban triptych format.

This work exemplifies not only Kyosai's talent but also showcases ukiyo-e woodblock printing techniques that have captivated audiences for centuries. Through May: Shoki the Demon Queller Riding on a Tiger, Subjugating Goblins".
