Suikoden (Water Margin) is a 14th century Chinese novel about 108 rebels and heroic bandits, very popular in Japan those days. The characters were also outlaws and brigands, seen as men of honour who would rebel against bureaucracy, a Robin-Hood-like band that made the story of a revolutionary novel with implications resenting the authority of the time.

This print is from a series of twelve numbered prints illustrating all 108 heroes of the Suikoden novel. Each print of the series depicts a group of nine heroes. After Kuniyoshi's breakthrough series, 'The 108 Heroes of the Popular Suikoden', published between 1827 - 1830, the artist came back to the theme of the heroes many times in his career.
