Title:"Mikake wa kowai ga tonda ii hito da" ('He Looks Fierce but He's a Really Great Man') 
Artist:Utagawa Kuniyoshi
Date:1847
Description:Types of pictures that Kuniyoshi were good at include 'Yose-e' (literally, an assembled picture) and 'Jigazo' (a self-portrait) and they contain lots of his playful spirits; one of his self-portraits shows that he is drawing himself but his face is unidentifiable because an animal or a human is cutting across in front of him.
