The Demi God "Binki":
"The temple and the streets all about it were decorated with flags and lanterns
and there were several platforms on which (see sketch) decorated with life size and
wonderfully natural figures of horses and demigods, the one I have drawn being crowned by
Binki, a hero renowned for his great size, strength and feats of arms. The figure of this
gentleman is contrasted with two representing ordinary men"
