Lei-Kong is a significant deity in Chinese mythology, revered for his role in controlling the natural phenomena of thunder and lightning. The image shows Lei-Kong in a dynamic pose, poised to strike the earth with his mighty hammer, surrounded by swirling clouds and bolts of lightning. In one hand, he holds a drum, believed to be the source of the thunderous sound that accompanies his thunderbolts. The spirit's fierce expression and the ominous backdrop create an awe-inspiring scene, evoking the raw power and energy of a thunderstorm. Lei-Kong is often depicted as a protector of the people, chasing away evil spirits and punishing undetected criminals. His presence was believed to act as a deterrent against misfortune and misdeeds. This print, created in 1915, serves as a beautiful reminder of the rich cultural history and the deep connection between the Chinese people and the natural world.
