- Medium:
- Woodblock print
- Format:
A print from the series "A Children's Handbook of String Pictures" depicting Act Five of the Chushingura — the famous scene of the vendetta story — alongside other subjects arranged for children learning the art of cat's cradle and string figures. The series is a characteristic Kyosai invention: a seemingly simple children's educational format that becomes a vehicle for sophisticated cultural references and technical display. The combination of popular narrative, children's play, and woodblock artistry is entirely his own.
