A boy shoulders a rake beside a great white elephant.

A boy in a red robe with dark blotches stands with his back to us beside a huge white elephant, a long rake with curved tines resting across his shoulders and one hand raised, pointing; the elephant's trunk curls above his head. A second, smaller elephant lowers its trunk at left beneath a blue sky with drifting white clouds and a few flying birds. A pink text panel and a red title cartouche naming the series sit above the scene; the artist's signature is at lower right.

Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798–1861) brought heroes, monsters and spectacle into the ukiyo-e print. A pupil of Toyokuni, he made his name in 1827 with the series of the One Hundred and Eight Heroes of the Suikoden, tattooed warriors caught mid-action, and went on to giant skeletons, cats, whales and satirical puzzles that slipped past the censors. His restless invention influenced Yoshitoshi and, much later, tattoo and manga art. His prints are held by the British Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
