This is a Meiji-era Japanese picture book (ehon) published in 1881 by Tsujioka Bunsuke, a Tokyo publisher, presenting the Chūshingura story for a popular readership. Its woodblock-printed pages show samurai in patterned kimono and swords beside columns of kana text, with bold outlines and simple flat color areas that suggest strong figure silhouettes, patterned textile motifs, and compact narrative panels.
