1808 Japanese Ehon Chushingura Gohen 47 Ronin Samurai Ronin Edo Woodblock Print



The 1808 book "絵本忠臣蔵後編" (Ehon Chūshingura Gohen) by Hayami is a sequel to the famous story of the 47 Ronin, also known as the "Ako incident." Hayami depicts the events following the Ronins revenge on their masters enemy. The book is a visual narrative, featuring intricate woodblock prints alongside the text. "Ehon Chushingura Kohen" is a classic work of Japanese literature that has inspired countless adaptations in various media and continues to be a beloved story in Japan to this day.



Hayami was an author, painter, and illustrator. He was a student of the Osaka illustrators and ukiyo-e painters Okada Gyokuzan and Takehara ShunchÅsai and Maruyama ÅŒkyo who founded the Maruyama school of painting. He is best known for his ehon yomihon, a type of popular literature from the late Edo period and is credited with making the story of ChÅ«shingura available to the public “as a legitimate reading pleasure” which “was accepted by its readers as a sort of historical truth.” (Henry D. Smith II)
