Correct item description? (menuki theme)

[Drago]

Hi,

 

I only found this item today. So it's only two days until the end. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221096983915

 

The item description says the menuki shows Shuten Douji, a rather famous Japanese youkai/demon. I'd like to know if this is true. Oni usually look a bit different.

I'm asking because I'm very interested in youkai/mythology and might be interested in bidding.

 

I know that the seller (zen-gallery) sometimes offers good stuff and sometimes bad stuff. So if you could give a few word about the quality/age, I'd be happy too.

 

Thanks.

These characters are actually 'shijo' and they're enjoying sake and suffering the effects of over indulging. I can't remember all the details off hand but they are usually depicted with red hair, gold hakama and 3 of them getting drunk around a large vessel of sake.

Thanks Ford.

 

Too bad...
