This occurred annually in August at the closing ceremony of the Obon festival.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eFar left we see a woman dressed in “moga” clothing; a flapper-syle western dress with a short haircut. She walks next to a woman in traditional kimono. At right the light glows from a red lamp onto the figure of a noodle vendor, who seems to be serving a portion to two children. The Japanese men wear a mixture of traditional robes and western hats, and one man watching the hillside at center wears a green suit; he is arm in arm with a woman wearing a western dress and hat.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThe feeling is of a warmly celebratory summer night, and the gathering is happily child-friendly. The play of darkness and light is reminiscent of Kiyochika, with the lights reflecting on the village crowd and the mixed attire of the period. Despite the telephone poles in the distance, the feeling is of a timeless, pre-industrial Japan. The subtle puff of smoke in the dark sky above the flames and the subtle baren-suji swirls on the mountain are evidence of the expertise of the printers of the period. From the first limited edition, with the seal verso that is numbered 99\/200. Yoshimitsu also studied European painting, which is evident here in his handling of light and shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent impression, color and condition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e horizontal ôban (24.8 x 38.6 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sankô kai (Sato Shôtarô)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yoshimitsu\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nomura Yoshimitsu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42488328945746,"sku":"YOM015","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/3388\/6546\/files\/YOM015.jpg?v=1783377308","url":"https:\/\/egenolfgallery.com\/products\/yoshimitsu-the-daimonji-seen-from-nijo-bridge-%e4%ba%ac%e6%b4%9b%e5%90%8d%e6%89%80-%e4%ba%8c%e6%a2%9d%e6%a9%8b%e3%82%88%e3%82%8a%e5%a4%a7%e6%96%87%e5%ad%97%e3%82%92%e6%9c%9b%e3%82%80","provider":"Egenolf Gallery Japanese Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
