The Strong Oi Pouring Sake - Public domain image related to music prformance, painting

A portrait by Hokusai of his daughter Ōi? and Fan Kuai. Presumably the title is a pun on her art name, which was Sakae. However, it is totally different from the Japanese original title. The Japanese original title means "Combined pictures of the brave people from Japan and China, Ōiko and Fan Kuai". The original title does not have the character of Sake and her given name is not Sakae but Ei. There is no fact that Hokusai called her Sakae. Ōiko(大井子) was the Japanese legendary strong woman from "Kokon Chomonjū". Ōiko was also drawn by other ukiyoe artists such as Utagawa Kuniyoshi and Yoshitoshi Tsukioka. Hokusai drew Ōiko to "Hokusai Manga", too. Ōiko was commonly used for the motif of ukiyoe prints. Ei used her artist name "Ōi (應為 / 応為)" for the first time in 1847 and more than 25 years passed since this painting was published. The speculation would be distorted by the people who don't know the history and the culture about East Asia.
日本語: 『空満屋連和漢武勇合三番之内 大井子と樊噲』大井子は『古今著聞集』に見える怪力を誇る女傑である。北斎が娘の葛飾応為（かつしか おうい）に見立てたものと一部で囁かれるが、原題に酒の文字は無くまた応為の名の栄の読みはえいでありさかえと呼ばれた事実はない。大井子は歌川国芳や月岡芳年といった他の浮世絵師にも描かれている。大井子は当時の浮世絵の画題としては一般的であり、以下の説明は極めて信憑性に乏しい。
- 画中の酒樽には「大ゐ」（おおい）の文字もあり、父･北斎が描いたとされるこの絵図は、酒（さけ）と彼女の俗名、栄（さかえ）とを掛けた洒落絵とみられる。ちなみに応為は不美人で顎が出ていたため北斎はしばしば娘を「アゴ、アゴ」などと呼んでいたといわれている。 この絵では顎は隠れている。
