Description
Tsushima Shrine in Aichi Prefecture, published in 1948, depicts the Tsushima Shrine in Tsushima city — one of the most venerable Shinto shrines in the Tokai region, dedicated to a plague-prevention deity and famous for its summer Tenno Matsuri festival featuring illuminated barges on the river. The shrine's complex, set in a wooded precinct along the Shonai River, represents one of the most historically significant sacred sites in Owari Province, and Hasui's 1948 composition likely captures the shrine's wooded approach and main structures in the postwar calm that followed the destruction of the surrounding region.
