The Gion District - Lovely scene from the Chushingura depicting a young man on a moonlit walk. This scene is taken from Act VII of the play. The man is shown standing on a flagstone path outside a teahouse where his father, Yuranosuke has made his headquarters. He holds a letter in his hand to deliver to his father. Beautiful night scene, detailed with burnishing in the black trim on the coat.
