| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic scene rendered in the Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock print style, depicting the folk hero Momotaro (Peach Boy) in traditional warrior attire, triumphant over Onitaiji, the Chief of the Oni demons, who is shown subdued and prostrate beneath him. A vertical banner bearing Momotaro's peach symbol and a Japanese inscription rises behind the central figure, while radiating rays emanate from the background to fill the field with dramatic energy. The composition is executed with fine line work and stylised shading characteristic of classical Japanese printmaking. The legend MOMOTARO appears as the primary inscription. The scene is contained within a wide decorative border of geometric motifs matching that of the obverse. |
