Visit to the Masaki Inari Shrine
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Katsukawa Shuncho, created in the late eighteenth century during the Edo period. This detail from a larger artwork, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases a lively scene of a day out to the Masaki Inari Shrine. The print depicts a group of men and women, dressed in the fashionable clothing of the time, embarking on a pilgrimage to the shrine. The triptych composition, a common format in ukiyo-e art, offers a panoramic view of the scenic estuary and the shrine's location. In the foreground, a man in a formal kimono, identified as Kichisado, leads the group, while a woman in a vibrant red kimono, possibly his wife, follows closely behind. Another man, Kichizaemon Katsukawa, holds a fan and looks out at the scenic view. A woman, dressed in a simple white kimono, carries a child on her back, while another woman, wearing a bright yellow kimono, holds a parasol to shield herself from the sun. The Masaki Inari Shrine, a popular tourist attraction during the Tokugawa period, is depicted in the background, with its iconic red torii gates and intricate architecture. The shrine is situated near a river, adding to the picturesque setting of the print. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print showcase the skill and artistry of Katsukawa Shuncho and the Churinsha workshop, where this print was produced. The print offers a glimpse into the daily life and cultural practices of Japan during the Edo period, making it an invaluable piece of heritage art and a testament to the rich artistic traditions of Japan.
