Genuine Eisen Woodblock - Chushingura Act X
Original 19th century Japanese woodblock print by Keisai Eisen (1790-1848), depicting Act X of the Chushingura, commonly known as "Amanogawaya". The color and condition of the print are very good, and it is not backed. The image measures 8 by 13 inches, plus margins.

The ferry master Amanogawaya Kihei procures weapons so that the loyal retainers can make their raid. Centered on the figure of Kihei firmly seated on a long chest, a group of men watches members of their squad wrestling.
