Hie Shrine, Tokyo · Meiji era

Next to a dark green tree, a flowering tree drawn in pink lines spreads its branches. In front are a person in a hat and a woman in a yellow kimono.

About this print

A tall, dark green tree stands on the left, and in the middle is a flowering tree drawn in pink lines. Halfway up on the right is a building with an upturned roof. In front are a person in light blue clothes and a hat, a woman in a yellow kimono, and a person in dark clothes. Above spreads a pale peach sky.

Hie Shrine was regarded as the guardian shrine of Edo Castle. The Sanno Festival is this shrine's festival. In the Edo period it became one of the "Tenka Matsuri," festivals watched by the shogun, and it is also counted among the three great festivals of Edo.

Look closely in front of the building, and a fence with a red frame, divided by white sections, runs straight across.
