 note = {Shuten Dōji emaki in the Suntory Museum was produced by Kano Motonobu (1477–1559) and assistants along with noble calligraphers in the first part of the sixteenth century. It presents in text and illustration a highly influential version of the story of the defeat of the demon king Shuten Dōji and his followers by a band of human warriors. Earlier scholarship has established that anti-demon rituals had an impact on the origins of the story. This study takes that as a starting point and draws upon key findings, but focuses on a single work, the Suntory scrolls, with the goal of better understanding its particular emphases and nuances, especially as seen in the pictures and overall structure. It argues for the profound importance of anti-demon rituals in the production and reception of the text. In particular, it shows how the images of key figures in the narrative are overlain with those of ritual performers such as yamabushi, miko, and onmyōji and even those of supernatural protectors such as shikigami and gohōdōji. While some parallels are so striking that they suggest a certain level of intention in their inclusion, the larger argument is that both producers and consumers witnessed and took part in numerous anti-demon rituals annually and that they were, inescapably, a major part of their cultural imaginary.},
