Kunisada here employs exaggerated features, the crossed eyes (mie pose) and wild, voluminous hair to convey overwhelming emotion. Utagawa Kunisada captures the superstar actor Ichikawa Ebizō V as the legendary outlaw Ishikawa Goemon, a "Robin Hood" figure of Japanese folklore who was famously sentenced to be boiled alive in a large iron cauldron along with his young son.
