Display, the bravery and loyalty of the 47 samurai in your home or office with this captivating wall art. I must have for any lover of Japanese history and culture.赤坂吉右衛門 (Akasaka Kichiemon) is recognized as one of the 47 rōnin, loyal retainers who avenged the death of their lord, Asano Naganori, in a famous historical event known as the Akō incident or Chūshingura. This story, embodying the samurai code of honor, loyalty, and revenge, has been celebrated in Japanese culture through various forms of literature, kabuki theater, and other arts. The Akō incident took place during the Edo period, culminating in the rōnin's attack on Kira Yoshinaka's residence on December 14, 1702. After Asano was forced to commit seppuku for assaulting Kira in Edo Castle, his retainers, led by Ōishi Kuranosuke, planned and executed their vendetta nearly two years later, restoring their lord's honor but consequently being ordered to commit seppuku themselves as punishment. Each of the 47 rōnin, including Akasaka Kichiemon, has a unique story and background contributing to the rich tapestry of this historical event. Their graves are located at Sengaku-ji Temple in Tokyo, a site that continues to attract visitors paying respect to these exemplars of the samurai spirit.
