The painting dates to the Azuchi–Momoyama period (1573–1615). Now in Tokyo National Museum, it has been designated a National Treasure."

The brilliant colors, strong ink outlines, gold-leaf background, and profusion of pictorial elements are typical of the decorative formula established by Kano Motonobu (1476–1559), founder of the Kano school, while the boldness is reminiscent of Motonobu’s grandson, the prolific Kano Eitoku (1543–1590)."

His series of sliding doors (fusuma) and folding screens (byōbu) painted with oversize animals, figures, and nature scenes set against scintillating gold foil well illustrated the power and energy the daimyo patrons wished to express."

I was kind of shocked, because it’s so dynamic compared to other Japanese screen paintings. I then found out that the artist—Kano Eitoku—was an official painter of the Ashikaga shogunate in the 16th century, and that he developed large-scale paintings for people like Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi [two of the most famous daimyo of the 16th century]. I learned later that this particular painting was meant to be displayed in a shogun’s castle, and that it was just the bottom one-fourth of what would have been a large wall painting. Now when I look at this piece, it makes me feel like I’m a shogun.” -Kiyoe Minami

He did not see an actual lion and depicted it. A shishi (獅子), which was regarded as a symbol of power in India or Persia.Then it came through the Silk Road as a sacred beast to Japan. In other words, shishi is imaginary creature, and became unified with koma-inu (guardian dogs) located in shrines, and they have been thought of as guardians."

These two screens have an unsurpassed dramatic tension that makes them true masterpieces of Momoyama ink painting."

If we set the two screens side-by-side, as they would have been as sliding-door panels, the figures on the right-hand side of the scene look upwards at something outside the screen. It is possible that a fairy may have been flying into the sky in a neighboring door panel. Some art historians believe that these paintings came from the sliding door panels of a sub-temple of Kenninji temple, but this remains to be proven conclusively."
