Design is from a Ukiyo-e triptych, by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1887, called "Susanoo slaying the Yamata no Orochi", showing Susanoo no Mikoto slaying the 8–headed serpent Yamata-no-Orochi upstream of the river at Hirokawa in Izumo Province.

Susanoo is a kami in Japanese mythology. The younger brother of Amaterasu, goddess of the sun and mythical ancestress of the Japanese imperial line, he is a multifaceted deity with contradictory characteristics (both good and bad), being portrayed in various stories either as a wild, impetuous god associated with the sea and storms, as a heroic figure who killed a monstrous serpent, or as a local deity linked with the harvest and agriculture. Syncretic beliefs that arose after the introduction of Buddhism to Japan also saw Susanoo becoming conflated with deities of pestilence and disease.

This canvas will always look as tight and flat as the day it was made. It's frame was built with a solid face to support the canvas and prevent deforming. Pre-installed hanging hardware is built into the frame, along with protective felt bumpers. The hanging hardware is placed at the top of the frame.
