The goblin, wearing a haori coat over his fox-like body, rises up from a lantern and with bulging eyes sticks out its tongue. The frightened kneeling man throws his head back with his mouth agape in terror. The wood stained a warm orange-red color, the eyes of the goblin double inlaid in ivory and dark horn.
