"Kojimachi Itchome, Sanno Matsuri Nerikomi" (Sanno Festival Procession at First Street, Kojimachi) is a celebrated woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. Hiroshige, who lived from 1797 to 1858, is best known for his evocative landscapes and scenes of everyday life in Edo-period Japan. This particular print is part of his acclaimed series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo Hyakkei), which was published between 1856 and 1858.

The print captures the vibrant and festive atmosphere of the Sanno Matsuri, one of the three major Shinto festivals in Tokyo, which is held annually in mid-June. The Sanno Matsuri is associated with the Hie Shrine and features a grand procession that winds through the streets of Edo (modern-day Tokyo), showcasing a variety of floats, portable shrines (mikoshi), and participants in traditional attire. Hiroshige's depiction of the festival at Kojimachi Itchome, a district in Edo, provides a vivid snapshot of this cultural event, highlighting the communal spirit and the rich traditions of the time.

In "Kojimachi Itchome, Sanno Matsuri Nerikomi," Hiroshige employs his characteristic use of perspective and color to bring the scene to life. The composition is dynamic, with the procession moving through the bustling street, flanked by rows of buildings and spectators. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns of the participants' clothing and the elaborate decorations on the floats. The print not only serves as a visual record of the festival but also reflects Hiroshige's skill in capturing the essence of Edo's urban landscape and its cultural vibrancy.

Hiroshige's work, including this print, has had a lasting impact on both Japanese art and Western artists, influencing the Impressionists and contributing to the Japonisme movement in Europe. "Kojimachi Itchome, Sanno Matsuri Nerikomi" remains a significant piece within Hiroshige's oeuvre, offering insight into the festive traditions and daily life of Edo-period Japan.
