Painting Description
"Daimyo Procession" by Gountei Sadahide is a significant work of Japanese art that vividly captures the grandeur and meticulous organization of a daimyo (feudal lord) procession during the Edo period (1603–1868). Created by the ukiyo-e artist Gountei Sadahide, whose real name was Hashimoto Sadahide and was active from the late Edo period into the early Meiji era, this piece is a testament to the artist's skill in depicting complex scenes filled with numerous figures and intricate details. Sadahide was known for his wide-ranging subjects, including landscapes, warrior prints, and scenes of foreign visitors to Japan, but "Daimyo Procession" stands out for its portrayal of a culturally significant event.
The daimyo procession, or "daimyo gyoretsu," was part of the sankin-kōtai system, a policy established by the Tokugawa shogunate requiring daimyo to alternate living between their domains and Edo (now Tokyo). These processions were not only a demonstration of the wealth and power of the daimyo but also served as a means of control by the shogunate, as they were costly and logistically challenging. Sadahide's depiction of such a procession captures the elaborate attire of the samurai, the numerous retainers, the carefully arranged goods and chattels, and the overall splendor and orderliness of these events.
"Daimyo Procession" is characterized by its dynamic composition and attention to detail, showcasing Sadahide's mastery of the ukiyo-e technique. The artwork provides a valuable visual document of the period's social hierarchy, fashion, and cultural practices. As a piece of historical documentation, it offers insights into the political and social structures of Edo-period Japan, making it an important work for both art historians and those interested in Japanese history.
Through "Daimyo Procession," Gountei Sadahide not only contributes to the rich tapestry of ukiyo-e art but also preserves a significant aspect of Japanese cultural heritage, capturing the imagination of viewers with its detailed portrayal of a bygone era. This work remains a crucial reference for understanding the complexities and grandeur of the daimyo processions, reflecting the artist's significant role in the visual documentation of Japanese cultural history.
