Comments - Great scene from the legendary "Kanadehon Chushingura" of the 47 ronin during the night attack on Moronao's castle. In the foreground, a ronin fights with one of Moronao's retainers kneeling in the snow, the pair clashing swords as a spear is thrust at the enemy's chest. Behind them, a samurai directs a prisoner bound with a rope around his torso. Fighting continues in the palace behind them, with one man falling over the roof from the upper story. A lively design with expressive figures and a nicely detailed setting.
