The Kamakura period warror Aoto Fujitsuna is a wonderful color xylograph on paper, realized by the Japanese master Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798-1861) in 1849 .

This artwork is the external left part of a bigger ukiyo-e (composed of three sheets). The original and whole artwork has been studied and analysed and preserved at the Waseda University Theatre Museum, Tokyo.

Our specimen represents four people kneeling on the ground waiting for the judge's judgment (he is visible in the central panel). Each figure is accompanied by an ideogram, the names of Osame and Azahira are readable.

In very good conditions.

The whole artwork represents a scene in court. The main character of the scene is the samurai Aoto Fujitsuna, named " Hikitsukesyu" by the Houjo family, that is, samurai of the level side called to preside over the court. He was known for being a very humble man who knew how to listen to people's voice. Indeed, an episode was dedicated to him in the kabuki show called Taiheiki.
