A traditional Japanese woodblock print depicting a scene from "Chushingura: Act IV". The print shows a group of people, men and women, wearing traditional Japanese clothing, kimonos, standing outside a large building with a tiled roof and a covered walkway. The people are gathered near a stone wall and a red torii gate-like structure, with a crowd of onlookers seated on a raised platform to the left. Inside the building, more people sit on a raised floor, on green mats. The background features trees, buildings, and a pinkish-gray sky. The print features black, red, and green colors. Japanese characters are written vertically on the right side.
