Original 19th century Japanese woodblock print by Keisai Eisen (1790-1848), depicting Act XI of the Chushingura, commonly known as "The Raid". The color and condition of the print are very good, and it is not backed. There is some discoloration in the bottom margin. 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. |
