TORII KIYONAGA (B. 1712, d. 1813)
It has on its top a large artificial cherry tree and two dolls representing the Emperor and the Empress. SANNO O-SAIREI “The Great Sanno Festival.” Three prints of a series depicting children carrying ornamental lanterns in the great procession of the Sanno Sairei which was a notable annual event in Edo. The merchants from all parts of the city contributed to make it a success and vied with each other in inventing lanterns, floats, and other entertaining features.
Chuban. Signed: Kiyonaga ga. Publisher: Eijudo. About 1720. Such choice early impressions as these are rarely seen. The printing is so deep as to produce the effect of gauffrage. The color has not faded, yet is beautifully soft and harmonious. Condition immaculate.
