From the Fang Lu battle at the end of Water Margin. Zhang Jun, the chief of the navy, is trying to break through the castle’s floodgates. The sharp eyes, muscular body, and carvings all over the body convey the ferocity. In the original story, #Kuniyoshi portrays Zhang Jun, who dies in battle, as a hero who has broken through the gate.
