Series; The Kanadehon Chushingura, 1851
47 Ronin, Act 1 - Terrific Edo era design from the kabuki play "Kanadehon Chushingura." Each print depicts a scene from the famous Japanese tale of the 47 ronin, who avenged their master's death. Beginning with the scene at the Imperial Palace and culminating with the night attack at Moronao's mansion, Kuniteru illustrates the story with great drama and wonderfully detailed settings, along with handsome color and expressive figures. A fine choice for a collector interested in this classic tale of honor and revenge.
