Description
Kandamyojin — Kanda Myojin shrine, one of Edo's three great tutelary shrines — is depicted here as a numbered view in a survey of Edo's sacred sites. The shrine's great festival, the Kanda Matsuri, was one of the most spectacular events in the city's calendar, its procession of floats and palanquins winding through the streets of the merchant quarters below the shrine hill.
