Atsuta Shrine
The Atsuta Shinto shrine housed an imperial treasure: the sacred sword, which legend attributes to the act of bravery of a hero. Many pilgrims came to pray in this temple, increasing the prosperity of the Miya relay each year. In this print, Hiroshige evokes a traditional festival bringing together in June the protagonists – men and horses – of a chariot race ready to cross the temple enclosure.
This print is part of the series “The fifty-three relays of Tôkaido”, 41st relay.
The technique
Japanese prints were made using the technique of woodcut, xylography. The engraver used a wooden plate and dug around the image. He then cut out all the parts he wanted to leave blank on the paper. Thus, only the patterns to be printed appeared in relief. Finally, he printed on paper using a baren which he applied to the back of the print by pressing on the wooden plate.
