Procession Of A Daimyo - Original Woodblock Print
Original woodblock print depicting the procession of a Daimyo. Ten Japanese soldiers are seen as they aid in transporting the Daimyo. Daimyo were powerful Japanese magnates, feudal lords who, from the 10th century to the early Meiji period in the middle 19th century, ruled most of Japan from their vast, hereditary land holdings. The soldiers are seen carrying weapons, ceremonial accoutrements, and personal effects.
Unframed. Protected by glass, edged in tape.
Image: 9"H x 18"W
During the Edo period, on a biannual basis, Daimyo were required to travel to Edo, where the Tokugawa shogunate had been based since the early seventeenth century, and take up residence there under the sankin kōtai (alternate attendance) system. Hundreds of retainers are shown transporting weapons, ceremonial accoutrements, and personal effects that bespeak the Daimyo’s military and financial might. Some are mounted on horses; the Daimyo and certain other members of his family are carried in palanquins.
