Curator's comments
Asahi 1996
天保13年から同14年にかけて北斎は、明らかに毎日、病気や災害に対する一種のお守りとして獅子を描いた。その大量の素描の遺品として、220点以上が現在知られている。No.115からNo.118までの4点は、その一部であり、本作品もそれに関するものである。これらの獅子図の内の86点は、北斎の娘お栄によって画帖にまとめられ、弘化4年（1847）信州のパトロンに贈られた。北斎自身が手紙の追伸を記しており、「日新除魔」という画帖の題箋がこの手の作品の呼び名となった（本画帖の完全な写真複製が公刊されている（永田生慈「北斎の袋絵と日新除魔」『北斎研究』11））。
本作品は、通例はある描かれた月日の書き込みを欠くが、おおかたの様式と男の祭り装束に獅子頭がつながるという特徴から、「日新除魔」に関連付けることができる。
（竹内美砂子（名古屋市博物館））
