EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Visit to the Masaki Inari Shrine" by Katsukawa Shuncho, dates back to the eighteenth century of Japan's Edo Period. The print is a detailed extract from a larger artwork, showcasing a lively scene of a day out to the Masaki Inari Shrine. The triptych, created by the renowned artist Katsukawa Shuncho, is a masterpiece of the Churinsha artistic school. It depicts a group of women, dressed in elegant kimonos, embarking on a pilgrimage to the shrine, located by the estuary. The women are shown in full length, their faces expressing various emotions of excitement and anticipation. The print is a vibrant display of color and intricate detail, with the women's kimonos featuring bold patterns and the natural surroundings richly depicted. The triptych also includes various geographical features, such as the river and the shrine, adding to the sense of place and setting. Religion played a significant role in Japanese society during the Edo Period, and this print captures the essence of a popular tourist attraction and religious site. The Masaki Inari Shrine was a place of pilgrimage for many, and the print invites us to join the women on their journey, providing a glimpse into the customs and traditions of the time. This woodblock print is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Katsukawa Shuncho and the Ukiyo-e artistic movement. It is a valuable heritage piece, showcasing the beauty and richness of Japanese art and culture during the eighteenth century.
