"description": "Stage version: In this dramatic scene depicted in Masayoshi\u2019s stage version (see Chushingura: Perspective Picture for the \"Treasure House of Loyalty\" [1985.338.9]), Tonase prepares to kill her daughter Tonami with her husband\u2019s sword and then to commit suicide. The dire moment results from the humiliating rejection of her daughter\u2019s 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 daughter\u2019s hair. An itinerant priest, wearing a deep-brimmed basket hat, reads to them from the gate.",
