Beschreibung:

This fine perspective prints has been attributed to Nishimura Shigenaga in the past. The scene depicts Soga Gorö at Wada no Yoshimori’s mansion. Asahina, his mon prominently displayed on his costume, bars the doorway to the right to prevent the youth from interrupting the banquet to attack his enemy Kudö Suketsune. (Howard A. Link, primitive Ukiyo-e from the James A. Michener Collection in the HAA, 1980) This print is typical of early Japanese perspective pictures in its recession into depth, which is determined by the arrangement of the architecture. The scene is from the revenge drama Soga Monogatari, with Soga Gorö at the left, attempting to enter the banquet of Wada no Yoshimori. (from Uki-e exihibition 2004: June-August)
