Notes
English: Part of the set of five hanging scrolls Extermination of Evil depicting benevolent deities who expel demons of plague. This scroll was originally part of a handscroll known as the "second edition of the Masuda family Hell Scroll" before being cut into sections after World War II. The text on the scroll explains the acts of the god in exterminating evil. The God of Heavenly Punishment is shown consuming the ox-headed deity Gozu Tennō, the god of pestilence. The set of five scrolls has been designated as National Treasure of Japan in the category paintings.
