The Gion District - 100 Aspects of the Moon

Tsukioka Yoshitoshi  - 100 Aspects of the Moon 

This print illustrates a scene from Act VII of the popular Kabuki play 'Kanadehon chūshingura' (‘The treasury of loyal retainers’), which is based on a real-life story of revenge by the 47 'rōnin' (or masterless samurai) in the early 1700s. The young man is Oishi Rikiya, son of Yuranosuke, the leader of the 'rōnin'. Rikiya tries to secretly deliver a letter containing news about the conspirators’ activities to his father, who lives in disguise at the Ichiriki teahouse in Kyoto’s pleasure quarter Gion.
