Minato Shrine Inari Woodblocks Woodcuts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite woodblock print captures a serene moment in the bustling Teppozu Harbor of Japan during the late Edo period, specifically in the year 1857. The view is taken from between the masts of a sailboat, providing a unique perspective of the harbor's vibrant activity. Cargo boats fill the foreground, their sails billowing in the wind as they go about their business. The focal point of the print is the iconic Inari Bridge, its red lacquered gates and vermilion pillars standing proudly against the blue-green waters. Inari Bridge is a significant landmark in the harbor, connecting the mainland to the sacred Inari Island and the Minato Shrine. The shrine, dedicated to the Shinto god Inari, is visible in the background, its bright orange roof tiles and torii gates adding a splash of color against the muted tones of the harbor. In the far distance, the majestic Mount Fuji rises above the horizon, its snow-capped peak a symbol of peace and tranquility. The print's intricate details, from the ripples on the water to the intricate patterns on the shrine's gates, showcase the masterful artistry of the woodblock printmakers of the time. This print is a beautiful representation of the harmony between the natural world and the spiritual beliefs of the Japanese people during the Edo period.
