Description

Kuniyoshi The Faithful Samurai is a pioneering publication which deals with the most famous Japanese print series of the forty-seven masterless samurai (ronin) by artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861): the Seichu gishi den (1847-48) and its sequel the Seichu gishin den (1848). The true 18th-century tale of revenge by forty-seven ronin for the death of their lord was enormously popular in Japan. Dr. Weinberg's book includes translations of the texts which appear on the prints and which recount each hero's exploits.
