Zheng Tianshou (Japanese: Hakumenrokun Teitenja), the "Fair-faced Gentleman," was a Water Margin hero whose refinement and pale complexion contrasted with the rougher types among the 108 heroes. This oban from the Suikoden series (c. 1827-30) depicts him with attributes that reflect his cultivated, somewhat aristocratic bearing within an outlaw brotherhood. The character's combination of good looks and martial skill made him a popular subject in both the novel and Kuniyoshi's visual interpretations.
