The Syllable He: Mase Chudayu Masaaki - Intriguing image of Mase Chudayu Masaaki, one of the 47 ronin, watching frogs at night, frowning with his brows furrowed. Holding an umbrella over his shoulder, he crouches on tall wooden geta clogs, holding a lantern above the frogs, two of which are fighting, with one biting the other's neck. Tall grasses and the branches of a willow tree sway gently in the breeze, and a stone statue of a Buddhist deity can be seen at right. A handsome design from the rarely seen Chushingura series.
