About this print

This is the right-hand panel of three that, laid side by side, form a single picture. At this panel's left edge, a wall with a black-and-white diamond pattern continues straight onto the right edge of the center panel.

The Sanno Festival is the festival of Hie Shrine. In the Edo period, its procession, centered on festival floats (dashi), entered Edo Castle. Starting with Iemitsu, the third shogun, successive shoguns watched it.
