Ishikawa Goeman
“What use a coin in the coffer? Better it be in the hands of the hungry.”

His extraordinary skill, rebellion against oppressive rulers, and tragic execution—boiled alive after a failed assassination attempt on a daimyo—have immortalized him in Japanese theater, literature, and art.
