        "description": "In this work, a young boy dressed in Japanese court costume holds a sword and sacred text, symbols of wisdom carried by the bodhisattva Monju, and rides a lion, also associated with that Buddhist deity. As boy and lion pass beneath a sketchily inked tree, the lion pauses, right foreleg suspended in midair, and the pair looks back. The relatively naturalist posing and sensibility of the painting, as well as the boy\u2019s attire, suggest the possibility that he is a manifestation of a Wakamiya, a youthful <em>kami</em> (a Japanese deity), whose Buddhist counterpart is Monju.",
