"Battling Tengu" is a notable artwork by Kawanabe Kyōsai (1831–1889), a prolific Japanese artist known for his eccentric and often satirical style. Kyōsai was a master of the ukiyo-e genre of woodblock prints and painting, and his work often reflected his interest in the supernatural and the macabre, as well as his sharp wit. The Tengu, a mythical creature found in Japanese folklore, is a recurring subject in Kyōsai's oeuvre, embodying the artist's fascination with the yokai (supernatural monsters, spirits, and demons in Japanese folklore).

The artwork "Battling Tengu" depicts a dynamic scene in which Tengu are engaged in a fierce battle. Tengu are traditionally portrayed as bird-like humanoids with long noses or beaks, and they are known to be skilled warriors. In Kyōsai's representation, the Tengu are often shown with exaggerated features and in dramatic poses, highlighting the artist's flair for capturing movement and expression.

Kyōsai's work is characterized by his bold line work and use of vivid color, which are evident in "Battling Tengu." The piece is likely to have been created during the Meiji period, a time when Japan was undergoing rapid modernization and when Kyōsai's work was both celebrated and criticized for its traditionalist stance and critique of contemporary society.

As a significant example of Kyōsai's artistry and his contribution to the late Edo and early Meiji period art, "Battling Tengu" is an important work for understanding the artist's legacy and the cultural context of the time. It showcases his mastery of traditional Japanese artistic techniques while also offering insight into the folklore that permeated Japanese culture and the imagination of one of its most intriguing artists.
