Description
See Iioka no Sutegorō for a description about the series: https://www.sieboldhuis.org/co...
Takezō was from the area around the Jizō Temple of Five Hundred Arhats (Jizōji Gohyaku Rakan) in Awa Province in northeastern Shikoku. Yoshitoshi depicts him performing a feat of unbelievable strength, holding a giant sake keg with a man on top with his stretched out arm, as if it were as light as a feather, while enjoying his tobacco pipe (kiseru).
