\nThis stylish whale design – featuring a white eye shape set against a black background – was created for a “Tenugui” (hand towel) by Kyoden Santo, a prominent writer and artist of the late Edo period. “GEIGEI” means male and female whales, but it also means the leader of villains, likely due to the image of whales swallowing the weak whole.

\nWhen it comes to famous bandit leaders in Japan, Ishikawa Goemon – who was executed by being boiled alive during the Azuchi-Momoyama period(1573-1603) – immediately comes to mind. It seems his enduring popularity and the many legends surrounding him stem largely from his frequent portrayal in creative works during the Edo period(1603-1867). Stories abound, that he was originally an Ninja or the child of a Samurai family, that he was a “noble thief” who targeted only the powerful, or even that he plotted to assassinate the “Shogun”. While the veracity of these tales remains uncertain, the sheer variety of legends serves as a testament to just how popular he was. Incidentally, the death poem he is said to have recited before his execution goes, “Though the sands of the seashore may run dry, the seed of thieves in this world shall never be exhausted”.<\/p>\n
