| Description |
"Nihon Minzoku Zufu" (Pictures of Japanese Native Customs). From the series of 12 prints done by well known sosaku hanga artists right after world war II. Excerpt from Doshun's explanation on the accompanying pamphlet:
Tanabata Festival in Hida is held in Hida on the 7th of August. The children blow a large conch-shell horn and carry a long green bamboo decorated with colorful tanzaku papers. They visit various houses to ask for the contributions for the festival. The many lanterns and shells filled with oil are lit on Miyagawa River and Enago River at the evening of the 7th. They, along with the sound of the conch-shell create the beautiful mood and scenery of the festival". |
