A pair of uncut fan prints with the god of wind and the god of thunder meant to be pasted on two sides of a uchiwa fan. This is an allusion to the famous painting Wind God & Thunder God [Fujin Raijin, 風神雷神図] by Ogata Korin [尾形光琳] (1658 - 1716).
And the earlier versions of the same by Tawaraya Sotatsu [俵屋宗達] (1570-1643).
