Utagawa Hiroshige

Izumo Shrine is a Shinto shrine on Honshu Island. The Japanese believe that Shinto kami (divine spirits) leave their own shrines for a month in October or November—depending on the lunar calendar—and travel to Izumo Shrine. During this time, a festival is held in which celebrants carrying lighted torches lead the kami to the shrine.

Visions of Japan: Prints and Paintings from Cleveland Collections

A vertically oriented print depicts three girls with light skin tones in a misty forest of towering cedar trees. They wear patterned robes in red, white, and blue. To the right, a wooden gate stands in the fog, while two shadowy silhouettes appear in the distance. Japanese calligraphy in vertical boxes occupies the upper right and lower left corners of the atmospheric, gray-toned composition.
