UKIYO-E JAPANESE WOODBLOCK FRAMED ART PRINT Zhang Qing (Botu'usen Chosei), from the series The 108 Heroes of the Popular Suikoden ( ), by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, late 1820s The 108 Heroes of the Popular Suikoden (Chinese original: Shui Hu Chuan or Water Margin as it is also known) is one of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature, a story of 108 brave outlaws, who started as rebels against the government & later, after the granted amnesty, fought the injustice (and nomadic enemy attacks) across the country. Utagawa Kuniyoshi, renowned for his intense compositons & dynamic character depictions, has outdone himself with these series, bringing both himself & the novel an immense popularity. One of the last heroes to join the bandits - & one of the hardest to capture! Named Zhang Qing (Featherless Arrow) he excelled in battle by being both extremely skillful at flinging stones (hence the nickname) & masterful at riding a horse. He would often feign a sudden retreat, luring his opponents closer & then taking them out by a precise heavy pebble missile. Sly! Here we see him in the heat of the action, face contorted in a calculating glare as he flings yet another deadly stone from the special sack on his chest! His richly detailed gear is a riot of colour & even his battle horse is gloriously bedecked for the battle, gold bells, silks & tassels flung in the air as it kicks up furiously, carrying its master away!
