Tsukioka YOSHITOSHI (1839-1892)

The ronin Yazama Shinroku Fujiwara Mitsukaze ) from Seichu gishinden, “Tales of True Loyalty.” From a rare uncompleted set of the 47 Ronin published 6/1868 by Masudaya. Thirteen designs extant. It has been suggested that the set was completed but that the others are not known based on the fact that two of the prints are numbered 3 and 46. An error as artists did not commence and progress from number 1. Artists chose at random which numbers from a set to start with. Well known examples being Hiroshige’s Tokaido and Kisokaido.

勇烈血氣傅 腕の喜三郎　歌川芳虎　1866年5月

“東都一個の達衆にして弱きを助け強きを砕き。事にのぞんで臆することなし 達引によつて片腕をきられしが切口見苦とて又自身に鋸を以て挽切て曰 我片腕なくても猶達入にハ余人に劣るまじ と笑ひけり 其強気なるを賞して異名によびしとぞ 初名野出の喜三郎後桑門に入て片枝と号し三昧をひらき終身をよくす 宝井其角が句に　片枝に脈やかよひて梅の花”
