Miyamoto Musashi was a famous Japanese swordsman and ronin, celebrated for his undefeated record in his many duels and his development of the two-sword fighting technique. In this print, Kuniyoshi combines Musashi's legendary warrior status with a mythic battle against a crocodile, symbolizing Musashi's strength and prowess.

The crocodile in this scene could represent an overwhelming and deadly adversary, highlighting Musashi’s skill and bravery in the face of insurmountable odds. The battle between the samurai and the beast mirrors the philosophical ideas of overcoming inner and outer challenges through discipline and mastery.
