制作刊行年等:明治13年8月 ; 出版地等:東京 ; 請求記号:チ5 4172 ; 材質: ; 数量:3枚続 ; 大きさ:37×73cm ; 解説文:歌舞伎十八番のうち勧進帳に見立てて、米価高を諷刺したもの。日なしかし（金貸し）を富樫、米買（商人）を弁慶にあてこみ、問答をさせている。 ; August 1880 ; Tokyo ; triptych ; This print satirizes the skyrocketing price of rice by evoking Kanjincho (The Subscription List), one of the eighteen celebrated kabuki plays. The title, "Kanjinsho," here meaning "dishonest merchants" provokes a chuckle with its similarity to the title of the well-known play. Two of the characters in the play, the barrier guardian Togashi Saemon, here depicted as a moneylender, and warrior-priest Benkei, here a rice dealer, are engaged in conversation.
