Description

Takatsu in Osaka is a district known for its Shinto shrine and for being a center of Osaka's traditional entertainment and comedy culture (manzai). Hasui's 1924 oban from the Souvenirs of Travel, Third Series likely shows the shrine precincts or the neighborhood streets around Takatsu Shrine — one of the older shrine districts in Osaka's eastern merchant city. The relatively undramatic subject matter reflects Hasui's interest in overlooked urban sacred spaces.
