Ogawa Kazumasa's 1892 publication Scenes from the Chiushingura and the Story of the Forty-Seven Rōnin presents a story blending fact and fiction that became the basis for one of the best-known plays in Edo-period Japan but was unfamiliar to Westerners. With seventeen collotype images and accompanying text by Scottish author James Murdoch, this volume offers a unique opportunity to consider how photographic images of this story compared to their very popular woodblock-print precedents. As an English-language book, it also offers insight into late nineteenth-century transmedial visuality and cross-cultural exchanges. Careful analysis of the book's images and text and their intersections shows that Ogawa's volume found an understanding and appreciation in the English-speaking West that paralleled that of woodblock prints of the play in Japan.
