Item from the Mokuhankan Flea MarketDawn Moon of the Shinto rites Size: 35.0cm by 24.5cm (13.78 in by 9.65 in) | Enlargement | Shipping Code: [L] ? Designer: Tsukioka Yoshitoshi Era: Meiji | Currency: $ / £ / € Price:  Description: This is from Yoshitoshi's popular series 'One Hundred Aspects of the Moon.', a total of 100 large nishiki-e prints, all of which were based on moon-related scenes from Japanese and Chinese stories, poems, and songs, took eight years to complete. The print illustrates the Sanno Festival, a celebration every June coordinated around a Shinto full moon ritual. The festival included parades and bright costumed figures of the natural gods. This is a scene when a float with a dancer impersonating the Dragon King, preceded by another float with a crowing rooster on a drum, was passing Edo castle.    There are faint red stains in the left margin, where the print must have been stacked tightly together with another item for many years, allowing some pigment to transfer.
