===Woodblock prints===
The forty-seven rōnin is one of the most popular themes in Japanese [[woodblock printing|woodblock prints]], or ''[[ukiyo-e]]'' and many well-known artists have made prints portraying either the original events, scenes from the play, or the actors. One book{{which|date=March 2022}} on subjects depicted in woodblock prints devotes no fewer than seven chapters to the history of the appearance of this theme in woodblocks. Among the artists who produced prints on this subject are [[Utamaro]], [[Utagawa Toyokuni III|Toyokuni]], [[Hokusai]], [[Kunisada]], [[Hiroshige]], and [[Tsukioka Yoshitoshi|Yoshitoshi]].<ref>Forbes, Andrew; Henley, David (2012).
