東京開化三十六景 深川八幡宮
Fukagawa Hachiman Shrine, from Thirty-six Views of Modern Tokyo
Seen from behind, a figure in a navy jacket walks through the torii gate, deeper into the shrine. Fukagawa Hachiman Shrine is another name for Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine, in Koto Ward.
About this print
The two white bands running across the top of the picture and the thick post standing just right of center are all part of a single torii gate. It is drawn from so close that only one post fits in the frame, so the crossbeams stretch the full width of the picture and look like bands dividing the sky.
Fukagawa Hachiman Shrine was built in 1627 on its present site, then known as Eitaijima. In the Edo period it enjoyed the patronage of the Tokugawa family and flourished as the largest Hachiman shrine in Edo. It burned down during the war, and the hall that stands today was rebuilt in reinforced concrete in 1956.
