Drawing 15, 19.5 X 27.4 cm.
A gigantic snake swallowing a stag, by Hokusai.
Published in Oguri gaiden, vol. 4, Plates 3B – 4A, in 1814 (?).

  Changes from drawing to print:

• The archers’ names and branches in the top right, above the rocks, have been added.
   

Artist's shorthand:

• The snake’s body
• The vegetation. In particular, we can see that while some of the balls of pine needles are only represented by a circle, many of the blades of grass are each drawn individually, only needing to be copied.
