The village of the Shi clan on a moonlit night (Shikason tsukiyo)

November 1885

Shi Jin, a fictitious tattooed martial arts instructor from the Chinese novel Shuihu Zhuan, became an outlaw-hero when bandits attacked his village one summer evening.  He first captured them, but after hearing their story about corruption in the village, freed them.  He then had to leave home himself to avoid arrest by the corrupt officials.
