Sanno Festival: A Traditional Procession in Front of Kame-ya Department Store, Edo Period, Japan (circa 1804-1812) This woodblock print showcases a vibrant scene from the Sanno Festival, an ancient Shinto procession held in Tokyo, Japan, during the Edo period. The image, captured in intricate detail, depicts a lively crowd gathered in front of Kame-ya Department Store. The storefront, adorned with traditional Japanese architecture, serves as a striking backdrop to the festivities. At the heart of the scene, two women in traditional Heian-era attire, dressed in elegant kimonos, walk alongside a man, all with expressions of awe and reverence. They are accompanied by several other individuals, dressed in various attire, all paying homage to the portable shrine being carried through the crowd. The shrine, or mikoshi, is ornately decorated with gold leaf and intricate carvings, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Japan during this time. The Sanno Festival, celebrated annually, was believed to bring good fortune and ward off evil spirits. The procession of the mikoshi was a significant event, drawing large crowds from all walks of life. The lively atmosphere, filled with music, dance, and the joyous energy of the participants, is beautifully captured in this woodblock print. This exquisite piece, a testament to the artistic prowess of the Edo period, invites us to step back in time and experience the vibrant traditions and rich history of Japan.
