Catalog note / 解説
From the series "Shinsen Azuma Nishiki-e" ("New Selections of Eastern Brocade Pictures"), Ohkubo Hikozaemon rides in a tub to enter the Edo castle, where he is a high ranking advisor to shogun. He was protesting the order that the samurai in the castle could not ride on a palanquin to come to the castle. When a guard questioned him, he said, "a tub is not a palanquin". The order was later abolished.
