Description:

Legend and popular stage play of heroic Raiko drawn into the web of the mysterious and powerful Tsuchigumo. In some versions he is visited by a mysterious woman wearing a striking outfit and possessing an immensely powerful aura. Tsuchigumo itself may be representative of the power of the Earth, the land, and especially the ground and underground. Raiko's battle is a classic test of boldness, strength and survival.
