Chushingura: Act IX of The Storehouse of Loyalty, late 1790s. Stage Version In this dramatic scene depicted in Masayoshis stage version (see Chushingura: Perspective Picture for the " Treasure House of Loyalty" [1985.338.9]), Tonase prepares to kill her daughter Tonami with her husbands sword and then to commit suicide. The dire moment results from the humiliating rejection of her daughters marriage contract. Fortunately, her husband, Honzo, dressed as an itinerant Buddhist priest, appears just in time to stop the tragedy. Parody Print In the parody print, Utamaro turned this dramatic event into a scene of domesticity in which the mother brushes her daughters hair. An itinerant priest, wearing a deep-brimmed basket hat, reads to them from the gate
