江戸風俗十二ケ月之内 二月 初午稲荷祭之図(右の1枚)

Second Month: Inari Festival on the First Horse Day, from Twelve Months of Edo Customs (Right Panel)

Tokyo · 1890 (Meiji era)

Beneath something like a large red decoration, women in green and purple kimono walk together. The green kimono in the middle looks especially bright.

About this print

Overhead hangs what looks like a large red and purple decoration. Below it runs a crossbar like a handrail, and beyond it a person in an orange kimono appears small. In front, with a woman in a green kimono in the middle, a person in a gray kimono and a small figure in purple layered over red walk side by side.

Twelve Months of Edo Customs is a print series that shows the customs of Edo month by month, from the first month to the twelfth, in fine detail, and some of its other months were also issued as three-sheet sets. This picture of the Inari festival on Hatsuuma, the first Horse Day of the second month, is a three-sheet set as well, and this sheet, with the red title label at the upper right, is the one on the far right.
