Chushingura: Act V of The Storehouse of Loyalty

Kitagawa Utamaro

Cleveland Museum of Art

A woman in a green kimono with white starburst designs sits on the floor with her hands clasped to her face. She wears a brown undergarment and has two hairpins on the back of her head. A woman in a black kimono with peach-colored lining stands over her, holding a green netted bag and a stick. The standing woman wears a headpiece with long hairpins and a kimono with a patterned hem. Behind the standing woman is a partially open sliding door showing a tree; a painting on the wall depicts two men, one carrying a sword and a bundle of arrows while attacking another man. A green bag, a fan, and a small tray are on the floor. The background is beige with vertical Japanese text on the left and a vertical strip of text on the upper center.
