This ukiyo-e print by Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Toyokuni III, depicts a scene from the popular Kabuki play "Yoshitsune and the Thousand Cherry Trees." The print showcases Kômori Yasugorô and Kirare Yosaburô, two characters plotting against their enemy. The dramatic expressions and dynamic poses of the figures are characteristic of Kunisada's style, known for its vibrant colors and detailed depiction of clothing and accessories. The play and the print highlight the themes of loyalty, betrayal, and revenge prevalent in Edo-era Japan.
