Description
Hazama Jujiro Mitsuoki of the Gishi Shijushichi-zu series continues the forty-seven ronin portrait series, Gekko giving this warrior retainer a distinct physiognomy and posture within the shared formal framework of samurai portrait prints. The challenge of the series—making forty-seven men of the same social class, wearing similar dress, and engaged in the same historical event visually distinct—required careful variation in facial type, stance, and the specific attributes each warrior might carry.
