説明：

Chüshingura was a popular resource for Kabuki plays because of its themes of honor, loyalty and revenge. This famous tale of forty-seven rönin (masterless samurai) was based on a true historical incident. In 1701, the leader of a group of forty-seven samurai was forced to commit seppuku (suicide) for assaulting Kira, a high court official who insulted him. The rönin avenged their leader in 1702 by killing Kira and then committing suicide. (from Daring Moves exhibition, 8/1/06-)
