Chushingura.characters.of.the.story.e hon.utagawa.kuniyoshi.page.01.leaf.01, E-hon dipicting the characters from the Chushingura (fictional interpretation of the non-fictional tale of the 47 ronin, involving the use of pseudonyms & theatrical plot conventions, etc.).  

Title not identified, author not identified, illustrated by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, late Edo period (circa 1850's).  Scanset of 1 volume (unknown if book is part of a series, or a single volume publication).

Right-to-left page 01/52, leaf 01/26; single page, front cover

Condition: both covers missing, 52 pages/26 leaves; unclear if any internal pages are missing, if so: more likely from front than back (fragments of rear cover remain in the binding, no traces of front cover are visible; existing pages appear to be contiguous. Pages are worn, stained, partially hand-coloured by a previous owner (colouring is ''not'' a part of the original, intended design, & ''does not'' follow standard conventions for costume colours of the characters).
