Known as Raiko, Minamoto no Yorimitsu (948–1021) was a nobleman who worked with his associate Watanabe no Tsuna to rid Kyoto of its many demons. One night, a feverish Raiko believed he was being attacked by monsters and called for protection, but his attendants fell asleep, and Raiko was attacked by a giant earth spider. His weak cries and a trail of blood attracted Watanabe who used an uprooted tree trunk to kill the enormous spider. Once the spider was vanquished, Raiko made a full recovery.

Hara Yoyusai (1772-1845/6) lived in Edo and worked under the patronage of Lord Matsudaira.

Compare the woodblock triptych print, oban tate-e, depicting a related scene of the Earth Spider at the chambers of Minamoto no Yorimitsu, in the collection of the British Museum, London, accession number 2008,3037.20906.
