A fun, imaginative story where Shennong, who is the ruler of agriculture and herbal
medicine, gets rid of a monster by breaking wind. As the influence of “Shuten-doji”
and “Momotaro” can be seen in the content structure, this work is thought to have been
produced after the Edo Period. Shennong’s image transforms from one where he is a
legendary ruler of ancient China to one where he is easily relatable to the audience.
