Oishi Se'emon—another of the forty-seven, not to be confused with the chief retainer Oishi Kuranosuke—appears in the comprehensive portrait series as a distinct warrior figure. The potential confusion of names within the ronin group—several shared family names or similar given names—may have required Gekko to exercise particular care in distinguishing individuals through careful variation of physical type and attribute within the consistent portrait format.
