Oboshi Yuranosuke at the Ichiriki Teahouse
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Kubo Shunman, created during the late Edo period, around 1785-89. This exquisite artwork is a scene from the seventh chapter of "The Storehouse of Loyal Retainers," also known as "Kanadehon Chushingura," a popular drama based on the historical events of the Revenge of the Loyal Retainers. The print depicts Oboshi Yuranosuke, a chamberlain and a member of the loyal league of forty-seven ronin, sitting at the Ichiriki Teahouse in Kyoto, Kinki, Japan. He is blindfolded, following the code of honor that required the ronin to conceal their identities before avenging their lord's death. The orange color dominating the print signifies the autumn season and the impending change, symbolizing the ronin's readiness to take action. Oboshi Yuranosuke, dressed in formal attire, is shown in the right and center sheets of an oban triptych, surrounded by other men and women, engrossed in conversation. The left sheet portrays a group of people, possibly the audience, observing the scene. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and the dynamic composition of the print reflect the artistic brilliance of Kubo Shunman, who was a leading figure in the artistic school of the late Edo period. This masterpiece, now a part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring appeal of its literature and art. The print invites us to delve deeper into the story of Chushingura, a tale of loyalty, honor, and revenge that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
