		The late Dr. Penelope Mason, friend of Mark and Kathy Lindquist, was Professor of Art History/Director of Asian Studies, Florida State University, when she wrote about Mark Lindquist’s sculptures in 1990.

	Kintaro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alternatively, Kintaro's real mother left the child in the wilds or died and left him an orphan, and he was raised by the mountain witch Yama-uba (one tale says Kintaro's mother raised him in the wilds, but due to her haggard appearance, she came to be called Yama-uba).
		In the most fanciful version of the tale, Yama-uba was Kintaro's mother, impregnated by a clap of thunder sent from a red dragon of Mt.
		Kintaro is an extremely popular figure in Japan, and his image adorns everything from statues to storybooks to action figures.

		The legend has it that Kintaro was a son of Yamanba (or Yama'uba), a kind of demon in the shape of an old woman, and a red dragon, who lived deep in Mt. Ashigara in the country of Sagami (the present Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo).
		Kintaro is the childhood name of Sakata no Kintoki, one of four top retainers of Minamoto no Yorimitsu (?-1021) in the late Heian period (794-1185).
		At the age of 21, he was discovered by Yorimitsu and became his loyal retainer, but the fate of Kintoki after his master's death is unknown.

		She was originally a celebrated courtesan in a red- light district of Kyoto.
