芝神明宮祭礼生姜市之景(収載資料名:広重画帖)

英泉 · 1 picture

A Japanese woodblock print from an ehon picture album, attributed to Eisen, showing a crowded market scene in Edo-period Japan made for a general urban audience. The pictures show a shrine precinct with thatched roofs, blue-tented stalls, and dense crowds of people in kimono at a festival, a composition a designer could borrow for layered, bustling street scenes with strong flat colour blocks.
