【Sculpture】Inside Arakawa Satsuki Kaikan

Senri Hirano's "Kintaro" is on display here.
Kintaro engaged in a sumo match with a bear on Mt. Ashigara, and was an energetic and kind boy who loved his mother. Encountered Minamoto no Yorimitsu at Ashigara pass and became his servant after receiving recognition for his abilities.
Changed his name to Kintoki Sakata, came to Kyoto and began living on Mt. Oe (currently Fukuchiyama City), where he played a major role in driving out the demon Shuten-doji. The battle axe he is often depicted with features the character "王" (king), and the workman's apron represents blacksmithing.
