Description
Kanadehon refers to a primer containing the 47 syllables of the kana alphabet. As the title of the play is Kanadehon Chushingura often each of the 47 Ronin would be assigned one of these syllables within a print series. The syllable is in a yellow diamond hanging from a stick next to the title cartouche. Takashige was among the group selected to enter Kira’s mansion first via the front gate. He is shown here with one of the giant mallets that were used to break down the locked gate.
Utagawa Yoshitora was a designer of ukiyo-e Japanese woodblock prints and an illustrator of books and newspapers who was active from about 1850 to about 1880. He was born in Edo, but neither his date of birth nor date of death is known.
