Hokusai: The  war-god Marishi (from India) using bow, spear, sword and fan with his various arms without confusion, while balancing on the back of his 'vehicle',  a wild boar. This is to illustrate  ki filling the  whole body and each single function  without being concentrated to the detriment of the others.
