This painting depicts a scene from a kabuki play based on Chapter 4 from a ukiyo-e series titled Kanadehon Chusingura (Treasury of Loyal Retainers). The theme of the series is a raid by Ako Roshi (masterless samurai of the Ako Domain). This is a scene where maids presented a bouquet of flowers to the lord who received a penitence. Flowerpots filled with plum and cherry blossoms in full bloom are next to the veranda.
