Description

Kanadehon Chushingura has captivated audiences for centuries as one of Japan's most beloved bunraku and kabuki plays. This scholarly work by Routledge provides a comprehensive examination of how ukiyo-e artists interpreted and visualised the Chushingura narrative across centuries of floating world prints. Discover how woodblock printmakers transformed this classic tale of loyalty and revenge into visual art, exploring the cultural significance and artistic techniques that made these prints enduring treasures. Perfect for theatre historians, art students, and anyone interested in Japanese cultural heritage, this book bridges the gap between performing arts and visual culture, revealing how a single story inspired countless artistic variations and captured the imagination of Edo-period audiences and collectors alike.

Key Features

Comprehensive analysis of ukiyo-e representations explores how Chushingura inspired multiple generations of floating world printmakers and artists.

Covers both bunraku and kabuki theatrical traditions, showing how stage performances influenced visual art and printmaking aesthetics.

Published by Routledge, part of the Japan Library series offering authoritative academic study of Japanese cultural history and traditions.

Essential reference for students of Japanese theatre, art history, and Edo-period social and cultural development in Japan.

Examines the full spectrum of artistic interpretations, from character portraits to dramatic scenes, across diverse ukiyo-e schools.
