Chushingura: Act XI of The Storehouse of Loyalty

Kitagawa Utamaro

Cleveland Museum of Art

A Japanese woodblock print depicts a scene with four people. The central figures are a man and a woman; the man, shirtless and wearing a green cloth wrapped around his waist, bends over to the right, interacting with a smaller, shirtless child with a brown object on its head. The woman, standing to the right with her head turned to the left, wears a brown kimono with green trim, holds a pole with a tray at the top in her left hand and something in her right hand near her kimono. The background shows a room with a low table on the left and a large tub on the right. In the upper left, a smaller inset image depicts two men: one sitting, wearing an orange kimono, and another standing behind, dressed in black with a sword. The color palette features muted tones, mainly browns, greens, and beige, with some black lines.
