Chushingura: Act X (from the series Perspective Pictures for The Treasure House of Loyalty)

Kitao Masayoshi

Cleveland Museum of Art

A Japanese woodblock print depicts a scene from "Chushingura". The scene shows a courtyard with a two-story building in the background. The building has a pinkish-tan color with a darker tan roof and a circular emblem with a design on the upper center. A woman in a pink kimono stands on the left, looking into a fenced area. In the courtyard, a group of men in pink and black outfits are engaged in a fierce battle, with some on the ground and others standing. The men wear swords at their sides. The background shows a night sky with stars and a pinkish hue near the top. Trees are visible on the left side. Japanese text appears on the right side and in other areas of the print.
