The Storehouse of Loyal Retainers - Handsome design from Kuniyoshi's 1835 series "The Storehouse of Loyal Retainers" (Kanadehon Chushingura), the classic drama about the 47 ronin, who avenged their master's death. Beginning with the scene at Hachiman Shrine and ending with the night attack on Moronao's mansion and the final visit to Lord Hangan's tomb, Kuniyoshi illustrates the story with great drama and wonderfully detailed settings, along with expressive figures. A rarely seen early ronin series by Kuniyoshi.
