堤吉兵衛 編 · 1888 · 堤吉兵衛 · 10 pictures

An 1888 Japanese picture book (ehon) compiled by Tsutsumi Kichibei and published by him, reproducing woodblock-style prints of the Chushingura vendetta story for a general reading public. The pictures show dense, high-contrast black-and-white figures in patterned kimono and hakama, set against stippled ground with handwritten kana captions and character names beside each group.
