Visiting a Shinto Shrine, c.1830-1839 (woodblock print on paper)

Visiting a Shinto Shrine: The focus of interest is a roofed shrine with a central small figure of a deity upon which a gentleman is pouring water, with bamboo scoop from a spring. A child and two ladies are with him, all standing on a square with crazy paving design (green). Approaching shrine is another party in twos: 2 gentlemen, 2 male servants and two women. Two left of shrine a pine, a gateway and a torii gate. Top left, a group of tree trunks roofed by stratified mist elements. One in a set of ten prints with ornamental borders, each depicting a typical Japanese genre scene with pleb and/or upper class characters. Hanabusa, Itcho
