Teraoka Heiemon Nobuyuki, 1847 - 1848 - Handsome portrait of Teraoka Heiemon Nobuyuki, one of the famous 47 ronin who avenged their master's death. He appears sitting atop snowy stone steps during the night attack on Moronao's mansion, holding an enormous wooden mallet over his shoulder and grimacing angrily. The figure is shown atop a small platform with writing on it. A nice expressive figure. The first time we've seen this samurai series by Yoshitsuya.
