Commentary
A kabuki scene. The Ronins found the enemy Moronao hiding in a coal shack. "Kanadehon Chushingura" was the theatrical version of the Ako Incident of 1701-03. The vendetta story had been very popular; it became the Japan's national legend. The numerous artworks and spin-off stories have been made about the revenge and loyalty of the 47 Ronin.
