EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Sanno Festival Procession at Kojimachi Itchome" (Kojimachi Itchome Sanno Matsuri nerikomi), is a breathtaking depiction of the annual Sanno Festival in Edo, Japan, during the 19th century. The vibrant print is part of Hiroshige's renowned series, "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo hyakkei). The scene unfolds at Kojimachi Itchome, a bustling district in the Chiyoda ward of Edo. The procession is making its way through the narrow street, led by a man carrying a large cartouche bearing the festival's crest. The festival, dedicated to the gods of the Sanno Shrine, is marked by a grand procession that traverses the city, accompanied by music and dance. The print showcases the rich cultural heritage of Edo Japan, with people of all walks of life gathered to witness the spectacle. The men in their traditional attire, the brown fortifications of Edo Castle, and the green estuary in the background, all contribute to the intricate geographical tapestry of the scene. The print's color palette is dominated by earthy browns and greens, contrasted by the bright reds and whites of the festival decorations. The intricate details of the buildings, the fortifications, and the boats in the estuary are testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the art of ukiyo-e, or the floating world, a distinctive artistic school of Japan. The print also offers a glimpse into the daily life of Edo Japan, with people going about their business, children playing, and vendors selling their wares. The Sanno Festival Procession at Kojimachi Itchome is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period.
