Description Samurai Akashi Gidayu Tadamasu by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797 - 1861), master of ukiyo-e style of Japanese woodblock prints. Akashi has attempted to disguise his samurai's armor and weaponry with a peasant's hat and a coat of straw, but the huge sharpened hoe, very different from any hoe an actual peasant might use, looks just as lethal as any weapon the samurai might ordinarily carry. The iris flower at the bottom is a traditional symbol of manhood.
