Comments - Great pillar print depicting Act 7 from the famous drama about the 47 ronin, the "Chushingura." In the center, Oboshi Yuranosuke, the leader of the ronin, looks up with a scowl as he realizes the courtesan Okaru is reading the secret message about the vendetta in his hand. The beauty peers at him from a verandah above. Below, one of Moronao's spies reads the end of the letter from his hiding place beneath the floorboards. A terrific image, beautifully suited to the narrow vertical pillar print format.
