Description
Kyumonryo Shishin, depicted in fighting stance with his robe falling away to reveal a full-body dragon tattoo, is one of the 108 heros of the "Suikoden" (Chinese "Shui-hu chuan"). This is a Chinese tale about a band of swashbuckling outlaws much loved in Japan.
This series of forty half-size prints is made up of subjects from Chinese and Japanese lore. Yoshitoshi drew them in an apparently carefree way, signing each illustration "Yoshitoshi giga"-Yoshitoshi drew for fun.
