Warrior Picture Title: Purple Cloud [Description] There is a torii gate in the picture. A torii gate stands at the entrance of a shrine, representing the boundary between the sacred realm and the secular world where people live. It not only serves as a gate for entering and exiting the shrine grounds but also, due to its unique shape, has become a symbol of the shrine and the sacred realm. The first character of "torii" (鳥) means "bird." Since ancient times, birds have had a deep connection with the divine spirit. There are stories in mythology of sacred birds, such as the long-crowing bird that opened the Heavenly Rock Cave, and the Yatagarasu (three-legged crow) that assisted Emperor Jimmu. The torii gate represents the sacred domain of the gods, such as the Yatagarasu. The expression of the warrior holding a bow and arrow is not one of battle, but very calm. Also, the bow and arrow are pointed slightly downwards. Looking at the horse's feet, it is clear that it has come to a complete stop and is slightly stepping back. This hanging scroll is a painting that depicts the contrast between the warrior (representing the secular world) and the torii gate (representing the sacred realm). The sacred realm, with its overflowing power, repels any being. This is beautifully depicted in a single picture.
