A lacquered maedate bearing the effigy of the King of the Oni dating: Edo Period (1603-1867) provenance: Japan, A beautiful piece of early workmanship, finely carved and lacquered. Worked in high relief to depict the upper part of the head of a red-skinned Oni, with a malevolent expression and silver-coloured eyes. The fangs retain traces of gilding, as the horns. On the reverse, a mounting plate for attachment to the kabuto (slightly loose). Well preserved, with two barely noticeable repairs (to one horn and the mounting plate). The iconography of the monster is undoubtedly inspired by Shuten-Doji, the fearsome lord of the demons (Oni) of Mount Oe, near Kyoto, who appears in Japanese mythology in various texts dating back as far as the 14th century. According to one of the best-known legends, the warrior Minamoto no Raiko was sent by the emperor himself to slay the dreadful demon responsible for the disappearance of numerous people from the capital. Although beheaded by the hero, the demon's severed head nevertheless attempted to bite Raiko, who escaped death thanks to the several helmets he was wearing, one over the other.
