Original 19th century Japanese woodblock print by Keisai Eisen (1790-1848), depicting Act I of the Chushingura, commonly known as "Preface, Tsurugaoka, Kabuto Aratame". The color and condition of the print are very good, and it is not backed. There is some light discoloration in the top margin. The image measures 8 by 13 inches, plus margins.
Representing the shogun Ashikaga Takauji, Yoshinao visited Kamakura to offer the helmet of the destroyed Nitta Yoshisada to the newly completed Tsurugaoka Hachiman shrine. Kahoyo, the wife of Enya Hogan (representing Asano Naganori) was consulted on this occasion, and Ko no Moronao (representing Kira Yoshinaka) fell in love with Kahoyo and started to court her. Kahoyo's confusion was mediated by Momoi Wakasanosuke who happened by, and in retaliation, Wakasanosuke was insulted by Moronao and was murderously enraged. The image here show the court-hatted figure of Moronao by the stone steps of Tsurugaoka with their huge ginkgo tree, where he is seen courting Kahoyo.
