A design by Kunichika of the opening act of the great revenge tragedy - the Chushingura. The ronin have all gathered to find and present a special helmet at the shrine and it is Hangan's wife, Kaoyo, who is the one to identify it.

Moronao is visible in the black robes on the right hand sheet, Kaoyo seen on the left.
