Description :
Colour woodblock, pillar print (‘hashira-e’). A parody of the most famous scene in Act VII, ‘Gion Ichiriki Jaya’, from the kabuki play ‘Kanadehon Chushingura’. As a man (parodying Oboshi Yuranosuke) unrolls a long letter scroll, one girl below (parodying Ono Kudayu) secretly reads the end of the scroll as it trails over a bamboo fence, while a second girl above (parodying Okaru) also peeks at it from a nearby balcony.
