This work was created by Ogata Korin, who faithfully traced the National Treasure "Wind God and Thunder God Screen" (owned by Kenninji Temple, Kyoto). The roots of the wind god and thunder god lie in the spiritual gods of ancient India who deified natural phenomena, but after being incorporated into Buddhism, they took on the role of protecting the Thousand-Armed Kannon. The clothes of both the wind god and the thunder god flutter in the wind, giving the impression of a strong wind moving from left to right. The wind god and the thunder god are characterized by their placement at the very edge of the screen, which brings a sense of tension to the entire screen, and the fan-shaped composition is said to be based on a fan painting. Although this work is also front and back rather than left and right, the reproduction power of wax molds has been used to reproduce the heroic figures of the wind god and the thunder god on an iron kettle. The pattern of the Kaminarimon gate has been cast into the shoulders, giving it a connection to the subject matter.
