From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record

Utagawa Kunisada’s painting captures a typical scene during Boy’s Day, a festival expressing a community’s aspirations for the health and well-being of their male children. Three children dance around a half-clad man, who holds up a puppet of a famous warrior placed on a black pedestal. Above and behind them is a large banner with Shōki, the Demon Queller; a similar one hangs nearby in this room. Japan, Asia
