This piece depicts the climactic night assault carried out by the 47 Ronin, one of the most iconic events in Japanese history and folklore. The composition captures the intensity and coordination of the samurai as they carry out their mission of revenge, with dynamic movement and expressive figures conveying the drama of the moment.

Kunisada III, working in the Meiji period and continuing the legacy of the Utagawa school, uses bold composition, detailed linework, and strong color contrasts to bring the battle scene to life. The emotional intensity and energy of the figures remain clearly visible.

The print measures approximately 50 × 37 cm, giving it a strong presence and allowing the details of the composition to stand out.

There is some edge wear and light water damage consistent with age, along with minor pigment bleeding in red areas. However, the print retains sharp lines and vibrant color across most of the image, preserving the impact of the scene.

A compelling and historically significant work, ideal for collectors of ukiyo-e, samurai art, and 47 Ronin imagery.
