From Hiroshige's One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1856–58), a 118-print series of vertical oban landscapes and genre scenes that defined the visual image of Edo for generations. A complete set sold for $405,400 at Sotheby's Online Jul 2024.
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.
