Why do samurais in japanese woodblock paintings often have crossed eyes?

Is there a meaning behind it?

When blood pressure of the head rise, eyeballs become slightly cross-eyed. To depict samurais as powerful and masculine, woodblock paintings exaggerate crossed-eyes. On the other hand, women were often depicted as very small eyes. Probably small eyes were thought as beautiful and feminine.

Kabuki also uses this method.

There were a lot of woodblock print of kabuki stars in Edo era so probably you are referring to this.
