Description:
Nijushiko Mitate E Awase" (Twenty-four Paragons of Filial Piety Parodied) No.10. Yen-tsze ( Enshi in Japanese) covered himself with a deer hide so that he could get milk from a deer. His mother suffered from an eye disease for which the deer's milk was the only remedy. One day, while he was under his deer skin, he was almost killed by a group of hunters. After they heard his story, they let him go free.
