Maebara Isuke Urabe no Munefusa.
(間江原猪介卜部宗房).
Maebara Isuke Urabe no Munefusa was one of the 47 loyal retainers of Asano Naganori which took part to the assault of Kira Yoshinaka`s mansion, killing him for avenging his Lord Asano.
Here he`s knocking down a door or Kira`s mansion, probably looking for him during the assault.
His real name was actually Maebara Isuke Munefusa, but being any reference to the original characters of the story prohibited and subject to censorship it was changed with a similar one.
Maebara was described as a gentle man of few words, skilled in martial arts and archery.
This series from Yoshitora doesn`t refers to each print using common numbers but with the syllables of the Japanese Hiragana alphabet.
