"Sliding Doors Depicting a Thunder God" is a pair of fusuma (sliding doors) painted by Suzuki Kiitsu (1796–1858), a prominent Japanese artist of the Edo period known for his Rinpa-style paintings. These doors are a significant example of Kiitsu's work, showcasing his mastery in capturing the dynamic essence of natural forces and his innovative approach to traditional Japanese themes.

The artwork features the image of Raijin, the thunder god, a common figure in Japanese mythology who is often depicted with drums that he plays to create the sound of thunder. Suzuki Kiitsu's rendition of Raijin is notable for its dramatic composition, vigorous brushwork, and the use of vibrant colors that bring the deity to life. The thunder god is typically shown amidst swirling clouds, underscoring the tumultuous nature of storms.

Kiitsu's "Sliding Doors Depicting a Thunder God" reflects the Rinpa school's aesthetic, characterized by its decorative quality, use of bright colors, and emphasis on nature and classical literature. The doors would have served both a functional and decorative purpose, acting as movable partitions in a traditional Japanese home while also imbuing the interior with cultural and artistic significance.

The exact date of creation for these sliding doors is not well-documented, but they are believed to have been produced during the late Edo period, which aligns with the timeline of Kiitsu's artistic career. The doors are considered an important cultural artifact, providing insight into the religious iconography, artistic traditions, and interior design of the Edo period.

Today, "Sliding Doors Depicting a Thunder God" by Suzuki Kiitsu is highly regarded for its historical and artistic value. The work is preserved and displayed in art museums, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the legacy of Japanese art.
