Circus Grounds Shrine Woodblocks Woodcuts Yasukuni
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning triptych print captures the excitement and wonder of the Big French Circus that graced the grounds of Shokonsha, also known as Yasukuni Jinja, in Tokyo, Japan during the year 1871. The vibrant image, originally created as a woodblock print, showcases the rich cultural fusion that emerged in Japan during the Meiji Period (1868-1912). At the center of the composition, acrobats perform daring feats atop a circular platform, their expressions of concentration and joy conveying the thrill of their art. To their left, trapeze artists soar through the air, their graceful movements a testament to the heights of human agility. And to the right, horseback stunt riders display their equestrian skills, their horses executing impressive leaps and bounds. The serene backdrop of Shokonsha, originally known as Shokonsha, adds an intriguing contrast to the dynamic circus scene. The shrine, dedicated to the enshrining of spirits of deceased soldiers and warriors, stands as a reminder of the deep-rooted traditions and values that coexisted alongside the new influences brought by the Western world. This print offers a glimpse into a unique moment in Japanese history, when the allure of the circus met the reverence of the shrine, creating an unforgettable spectacle for the people of Tokyo.
