Description:
Along a yellow road, over a bridge, three huntsmen who have found Yoichibei's dead body & brought it to his cottage, are returning. Behind, Kampei receiving Yagoro & Goyemon at the door of the hut. Background of hills. A rather poor plate, the figures of the huntsmen are crudely drawn & the colouring is not happy. In the story of the 'Chushingura' their names are given as Meppo Yahachi, Tanegashima no Roku, & Tanuki no Kakubei.
