Momotaro emaki (Tale of Peach Boy Momotaro)
A picture scroll on the theme of the old tale of “Momotaro,” this scroll is made up of
only drawings, and no foreword. Depiction using India ink is heavily used, and since
there are no instructions on the coloring locations written, it is thought that this
scroll was produced as a picture model, rather than for viewing. In this picture
scroll, Momotaro is born from a married couple who ate a peach and became younger,
rather than being born from a peach.
