Pictures of the Forty-seven Loyal Retainers - Handsome woodblock scene from Gekko's series based on the true story of the 47 ronin, who avenged their master's death.

These lovely designs are beautifully drawn and softly shaded, with wonderful detail in the surroundings. Some feature deluxe publishing techniques, such a silver mica, burnishing, or embossing. These terrific scenes are a nice option for a collector interested in this classic tale of honor and revenge.
