The subject of the painting is "Gion Tadamori" from the Tale of the Heike.
When Emperor Shirakawa passed through this area on his way to visit Empress Gion, he spotted something resembling a demon ahead. Tairano Tadamori was ordered to slay the demon, and when he captured it alive to determine its true identity, he discovered that it was a shrine priest who was trying to light a lantern. People praised Tadamori for his thoughtfulness and bravery.
