The 47 Ronin, Act 11, Scene 1: The Night Attack on Moronao's Mansion - A fantastic original Edo era, full oban, print from the kabuki play "Kanadehon Chushingura." Each print depicts a scene from the famous Japanese tale of the 47 ronin, who avenged their master's death. Beginning with the scene at the Imperial Palace and culminating in laying Moronao's head at Lord Hangan's tomb, Toyokuni III illustrates the story with great drama and wonderfully detailed settings, each design framed by the ronin's traditional black and white dogtooth border. A great choice for a collector interested in this classic tale of honor and revenge.
