A woodblock print depicting a scene from Chushingura. The scene shows a group of people. A woman wearing a brown kimono with black and red accents helps a nude man onto a woven storage basket. The man has a green cloth around his waist. The woman has her hair pulled back and a large bow in her hair. Two men in red kimonos sit on the floor to the right. Another man in a red kimono stands behind the woman. The background is beige with a red box on the left. A lantern hangs on the wall to the right. A small inset image in the upper-left corner shows a man jumping onto a box while two men in red clothing brandish weapons. Japanese characters are written vertically on the left and horizontally in the upper-right corner and upper-left corner.
