Konjin Chōgorō appears in this 1866 print as a warrior or outlaw subject from one of the popular fiction cycles of the late Edo period. The name suggests a connection to the "Golden God" (Konjin), one of the malevolent directional deities of Japanese folk religion, though whether this refers to the deity itself or to a human figure who bore the name is unclear from the title alone. The print belongs to Yoshitoshi's intense burst of [musha-e](/glossary/musha-e) production in the mid-1860s.
