    "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.",
