Title Unknown (Ise Pilgrimage by a Religious Group) |
解説 |
Did these travelers just arrive at the post town? On the right side of the screen, a woman is getting off a palanquin. In the center, a woman and two children are riding a horse with a three-person saddle called Sampō-Kōjin, led by a horse driver. The signboard propped against the wall of an inn-like building says “Edo Jihon-donya Daidaikō-chū.” It is a signboard with the name of the regular customers of the inn. Daidaikō is a group of pilgrims to Ise Shrine. The members save up funds for the travel, and those who win the lottery go on the pilgrimage as representatives. As they dedicate daidai-kagura performance to the shrine, it was also called Ise Daidaikō. Daidai-kagura was the largest kagura performance dedicated by general visitors and held for half a day at the house of the shrine master during the Edo period. Kitagawa Tsukimaro was a student of Utamaro and used to draw nishiki-e under the name of Kikumaro, but later renamed Tsukimaro. He was famous for his paintings of beautiful women and illustrations in picture books. |
