東京名所三十六戯撰 王子

Oji, from Thirty-six Comic Views of Famous Places in Tokyo

Oji, Tokyo · 1872 (Meiji era)

In a dark field at night, someone in a yellow kimono has fallen flat. Together with the red patterned kimono nearby, that yellow stands out in the darkness.

About this print

At the right edge, a big tree lifts its thick trunk into the night sky. At its foot are something like a yellow heap of straw and a woman in a red patterned kimono. In front, a person in a yellow kimono has collapsed, and a person in a navy kimono peers down at them. Out in the dark field, a few small figures.

The title cartouche gives only the two characters for "Oji," but the table of contents of this series lists the name "Oji Inari." Oji Inari Shrine holds the rank of "Kanto Inari Sosha," and ordinary people have loved it since the Edo period.
