Rare 1860 Print by Utagawa Yoshiiku (1833-1904) of a Parody of the Chushingura's Tale. I purchased this around 1990 from Maryanne Hegeman who inherited it from her father who traveled the world in the 1920s.

thank you vetraio50.
has to go to an expert has to assess the aratame or likely the kiwame for the value
That is beautiful. I love it!
wow we don,t need the aratame because it is an Chushingura by the famous Horikoshi , this Utagawa Kuniyoshi style ,i believe this an lot of money , excellent done Pete
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
addendum Horikoshi edition
this is the belated creative reaction by means allegory of the Tenpo reforms historically , so it is not only of artistic but also of considerate historical value
consequence counterreaction counter by means of Einosuki Moriyame in 1848 , caused the cave in of the Tokugawa Shogunate
date 1860 is also right i see , rather logical by the the way otnerwise the publisher would likely be Hirokaya Kosuke and the paper looks also right which means no mulberry, so bring in the boose
thank you apostata. i think that the cats each represent a political figure of the time. it was a punishable crime to openly criticize politicians / government people at the time and kabuki was a more subtle way to do it.
i am not allowed to evaluate
but first it is pristine
second of all it is extremely rare , the neko (cat ) or sakana( period fish)
and it also an collector item because of the small timespread of the in mine rather rather wierd publisher Horikoshi
it took actually an awfull lot to be sure
personally i think down the line retail this an easy 4 figures
thank you apostata. i was offered 2 of those about 10 yrs ago.
