FINE ART PRINT, high quality reproduction of the antique japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print. Long, long ago there lived in Kyoto a brave soldier named Kintoki. Now he fell in love with a beautiful lady & married her. Not long after this, through the malice of some of his friends, he fell into disgrace at Court & was dismissed. This misfortune so preyed upon his mind that he did not long survive his dismissalhe died, leaving behind him his beautiful young wife to face the world alone. Fearing her husband's enemies, she fled to the Ashigara Mountains as soon as her husband was dead, & there in the lonely forests where no one ever came except woodcutters, a little boy was born to her. She called him Kintaro or the Golden Boy. Now the remarkable thing about this child was his great strength, & as he grew older he grew stronger & stronger, so that by the time he was eight years of age he was able to cut down trees as quickly as the woodcutters. Then his mother gave him a large ax, & he used to go out in the forest & help the woodcutters, who called him "Wonder-child," & his mother the "Old Nurse of the Mountains," for they did not know her high rank. Another favorite pastime of Kintaro's was to smash up rocks & stones. You can imagine how strong he was!
